The Lagos State Judiciary on Wednesday punctured what it termed the unprofessional conduct by some officers reported to be usually extorting money from members of the public.
In a statement signed by the Acting Chief Registrar of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, T. A Elias, described the development as abhorrent.
He affirmed that the Lagos State Judiciary is aware of the trending online news of unprofessional conduct by some officers, reported to be usually extorting money from members of the public.
Elias said, “It is important to state unequivocally that the Lagos State Judiciary condemns such abhorrent behaviour if confirmed to be true.
“There are internal investigative and disciplinary mechanisms typically deployed as part of our management system, and such have been promptly activated in this particular circumstance.
“It should be noted that the Lagos State Judiciary just like any other organisation may have errant officers who deviate from the laid down rules, but what is important is that such errant officers are decisively dealt with after being given a fair hearing.
“This office is currently investigating this reported incident and the officers involved are being put through the necessary process for the appropriate disciplinary measures.”
The Acting Chief Registrar assured the public that the state judiciary will not tolerate any form of corrupt practices within its system.
Elias also promised that any errant officer found wanting would be severely dealt with if any such allegation is proven.
