Gombe Judiciary Hotbed for Corruption -NBA
Segun Awofadeji in Gombe
The judicial arm of Gombe state government has allegedly degenerated
into a hotbed for corruption as a result of many years of neglect, the
Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, has said.
The state NBA Chairman, Haruna Saleh, who spoke during the 2015/2016 legal year of the State judiciary on Thursday said the neglect of the judiciary has encouraged corruption in the system.
“When we critically look at the dilapidated court rooms, some courts are rented houses and shops. The limited existing structures that are made court rooms are now something else that calls for a reasonable and immediate attention. This clearly reveals how judiciary is ranked in the State,” he said.
The NBA Chairman added: “There are inadequate infrastructures and facilities in managing some of the court rooms, books, stationeries and other working materials,” which, according to him, “undoubtedly encourages corruption as they may end up using either their personal money or that of litigants or that of their counsel”.
