Senator Abbo Claims High-Ranking Judge Demanded Bribe During Hotel Meeting
Former Nigerian Senator Ishaku Abbo has criticized the alleged corruption within the judiciary, arguing that Nigeria’s democracy cannot thrive unless the judicial system is reformed to ensure justice rather than injustice.

Speaking in Yola during a meeting with journalists, Abbo expressed his concerns following his recent ousting by the Appeal Court in Abuja, despite having initially secured a ruling from the Tribunal to return to the Senate for a second term. He claimed that instances of vote-buying are more evident in the courts than in actual electoral practice.

“My mandate was hijacked in the courtroom by judicial actors who are supposed to uphold justice,” he stated. “Judgment is divine; judges represent God on Earth. If you accept bribes to deliver injustice, you will face consequences from your creator.”

Abbo also alleged that a senior judicial officer visited him at his hotel in Abuja, accompanied by his wife, demanding money on behalf of the judges involved in his case. He mentioned having video evidence and expressed a desire to warn the official’s associates in Taraba State to prevent potential damage to his career due to corrupt practices.
