The Lagos State Government has fired a Customary Court Judge, Ishola Adeyemi, who is alleged to have dissolved marriage and snatched the wife of a complainant, Mr. Olayemi Ayeni. Ayeni had a viral video of himself narrating how he dissolved his marriage and denied hm access to his children because the judge is interested in his estranged wife.
According to Ayeni, Adeyemi got him arrested by the police when he protested the development and was subsequently transferred to Kirikiri Prison in Lagos State.
The state government, through the Executive Secretary, Lagos State, Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, Mrs. Titilola Vivour Adeniyi, in a statement, confirmed the sacking of the judge.
Vivour Adeniyi said the Lagos State Judicial Service Commission is investigating the case. She explained that though the incident occurred between 2014 and 2015, the video was posted by Ayeni's friends in 2016.
According to Vivour-Adeniyi, “The attention of the State Government has been drawn to a viral video circulating the social media space wherein one Mr. Olayemi Ayeni (the Complainant )alleged that a former Customary Court Member, Mr. Ishola Razaki Adeyemi, abused his office by exhibiting unprofessional conduct in a customary court case involving the Complainant and his wife and proceeded to snatch his wife and children from him.
