Nigerian Court Registrar Caught Forging Bailiff’s Signature, Impersonating Commissioner For Oaths

The Kano State Judicial Service Commission has approved the demotion of a court registrar, Adamu Salisu, for forgery and falsification of affidavits of service.

The commission announced this in a statement. It stated that the decision was part of the resolutions reached at the JSC’s 84th meeting, held on Friday.

After deliberations, the commission demoted Mr Salisu from Grade Level 13 to Grade Level 12 and removed him from his position as registrar in charge of High Court No. 13, according to the statement.

“He was also issued a strong warning to desist from any further unethical conduct or influencing others to commit similar acts, failing which stricter sanctions, including criminal prosecution, will be taken against him,” the commission said.

The action was taken in line with the JSC’s mandate to uphold integrity and discipline within the judicial arm of government, the statement said.

“Salisu forged the signature of a bailiff and unlawfully signed documents as a commissioner for oaths. He admitted guilt and was found liable for gross misconduct,” the commission explained.

The JSC also mentioned that Yusuf Ayuba, a clerical assistant attached to High Court No. 8, Miller Road, was investigated by the Judiciary Public Complaints Committee and found to have absented himself from his duty post without justification for four months.

“The commission demoted him from Grade Level 5 to Grade Level 4 as punishment for gross misconduct,” it stated.
