The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has accused the Chief Judge of Osun State, Justice Adepele Ojo, of victimising Muslim members of the judiciary in the state.
MURIC’s allegation was contained in a statement, yesterday, signed by Director of the rights organisation, Prof. Ishaq Akintola.
“Exempli gratia, one of the past chief judges allocated two pieces of land of equal sizes to both Christian and Muslim communities of Osun State judiciary at the High Court, Osogbo. The Christians built a church on their land while the Muslims also built a mosque on their own. “Another example of her victimisation of Muslims was her arrangement of the 2022 foreign trip of judges which she deliberately fixed to coincide with the period of this year’s Id al-Adha Salah. It was so arranged that Muslim judges could not fully enjoy the trip.
“This arrangement resulted in a tortuous, tumultuous and topsy-turvy foreign trip for Muslims among the judges. A programme designed ab initio for hardworking judges to regain their strength turned into one of extreme stress and unmitigated psychological trauma for the Muslims among them. “There is every raison d’etre to suspect that the Chief Judge has targeted Muslim judges who went for the trip for victimization. Perhaps we can ask the respected Chief Judge if she would like to schedule the 2023 foreign trip for judges in the state from December 21, 2022 to January 4, 2023 or from April 5 to 16, 2023 ! After all, who feels it knows it.
