An Area Court Judge in Adamawa State has actually been eliminated for incompetence.

Chief Judge of the state, Hon. Justice Nathan Musa, removed the Presiding Judge of Lunguda Area Court sitting in Guyuk Local Government Area, Hon. Jemison Fawe, over what he described gross incompetence.

Nathan, who functions as Chairman of the state Jail Delivery Committee, reached the choice to remove Fawe, when the committee checked out Guyuk Correctional Centre in extension of prison decongestion on Thursday.

He had, upon observing concerns at the correctional centre, ordered Fawe to report at the head office in Yola.

The unfortunate judge was subsequently revealed the method out Friday on charge of sentencing a man and founding guilty to 3 years in prison presumably without a reasonable hearing and without being offered the choice of a fine.

The judge was said to have actually founded guilty the man and imprisoned him three years when he was arraigned over the accusation that he exchanged words with his mom.

The convict, who was among individuals serving prison terms at the correctional centre in Guyuk, had actually been apprehended and arraigned by the police over a misunderstanding between him and his mom as reported to the police by his older bro.

Fawe was said to have convicted the man “without hearing a word from him” over what in his perspective happened between him and his mother.

The lucky convict and 4 others at the Guyuk Correctional Centre were discharged by the Jail Delivery Committee.
