In a statement on Friday, Soji Oye, NJC Director of Information, revealed that the Council has also established four investigative panels to examine allegations of judicial misconduct against 27 high court judges.

The dismissed petitions involved several high-profile judges, including Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem of the Court of Appeal, Justice John Tsoho, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, and others from various courts across Nigeria.
