Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court has insisted that he retired voluntarily.<\/p>\n

Report of his\u00a0controversial resignation emerged yesterday, Thursday.
\nThis is against the National Judicial Council, NJC\u2019s statement that it had at the end of its 84th Meeting in Abuja,\u00a0recommended Ademola and O. O. Tokode for retirement.<\/a><\/p>\n

Justice Ademola\u2019s lawyer, Chief Robert Clarke, SAN, while reacting to the NJC\u2019s statement, told Vanguard that the Judge retired voluntarily, immediately he was freed by the court of any infractions over the allegations levelled against him by the government.<\/p>\n

Clarke said, \u201cJustice Ademola who was approaching the voluntary retirement age, resigned moment he was absolved of any wrong doings by the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough I am not aware of any compulsory retirement as you mentioned now, but all what I know was that he was absolved by the court of any wrong doings.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it is, he is not found guilty of any offence(s), so I would not know of any compulsory retirement owing to wrong doings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe retired voluntarily, which I believed he reserved the right to do so. And I am not aware of any appeal against the judgment of the Federal High Court, this is because I am not aware that they compile any record of the court proceedings for their appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n
