Niger State's judicial commission dismissed four court officers who could not pass their advancement tests. The officers came from two different courts, with three working at the High Court and one serving at the Sharia Court of Appeal. Each person had attempted the same promotional examination three times without success while holding their current position. The commission applied Order 8, Rule (4)(f) from their 2025 regulations to remove these individuals from service.
Separately, officials formed an investigation team to examine charges against Mohammed Shaba for alleged wrongdoing. Shaba faces accusations of sharing a harmful video about the state's Chief Judge and court system through social media. The Sharia Court of Appeal's Chief Registrar brought this matter forward, prompting the commission to establish a subcommittee under regulation Order 6(1)(c) to ensure proper investigation procedures.
