National Judicial Council (NJC) has reinstated Justice Babajide Aladejana of Ekiti State High Court after 16 years of suspension by the National Judicial Council.
Justice Aladejana was earlier suspended from office in 2006 with the state’s former Chief Judge, Justice Kayode Bamisile, during the administration of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Alfa Belgore.
This was after the two were suspended for allegedly involving in political crisis that led to the impeachment of the former Governor of the state, Ayodele Fayose on October 16, 2006.
However, the Justice has been reinstated following a review of the National Judicial Council.
He was subsequently allocated High Court number two where he would be hearing cases and performing other judicial functions.
