The Election Petition Tribunal
Chairman of Kano State National and State Houses of Assembly, Justice Flora Azinge, has expressed her anger over attempts by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, to bribe her.
Speaking in open court before the commencement of the session on Tuesday in Kano, Justice Azinge lamented how Senior Lawyers particularly engage in the unethical practice.
Although she did not disclose the identity of the Senior Lawyer, She said the SAN in question has a pending case before the tribunal.
“A Senior Advocate of Nigeria who has a pending case before me is attempting to bribe me and money has been flying in this tribunal since yesterday.
“Whoever collects money on my behalf, God will punish that person and his generation yet unborn, to the fourth generation.
“They keep abusing Judges, insulting us everyday in the papers, in the media that we are taking bribe.
“Let me repeat again that nobody should approach me with money again. I’m contented with what God has given me, and I have a roof over my head,” the Judge stated.
