The Ekiti Lawyers Vanguard for Transparency has petitioned Nigeria's National Judicial Council against Federal High Court Judge Emeka Nwite, accusing him of bias and judicial misconduct. They allege Nwite improperly restrained the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from probing ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi's aides while issuing a bench warrant for Kogi's former Governor, despite a conflicting state court order. The group seeks NJC intervention to restore public confidence in the judiciary.
