IT is now official.The Judiciary is the most corrupt institution; judges are the biggest takers of bribe in Nigeria.

According to a recent survey conducted and published by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS in collaboration with United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC, Nigerian public officials received N721 billions in cash bribes in 2023 and  Judges topped the list of recipients.

The publication is a 160-page report tittle “Corruption In Nigeria:Patterns and Trends” makes a very sobering read.Those Nigerians who still doubt the level of corruption amongst public officials especially our judges,must now come into terms with the reality.

Not only that this is a very bad report about Nigeria, it paints the most ugly picture about Nigeria’s judiciary,which is considered the last hope for the common poor man. We will be bringing details of the report in bits later.
