A suspended judge of the Ekiti State High Court, Justice Babajide Aladejana, has been reinstated by the National Judicial Council (NJC) after 16 years of suspension.
Justice Aladejana was suspended from office in 2006 alongside the former Chief Judge of Ekiti State, Justice Kayode Bamisile, under the administration of the ex-Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Alfa Belgore.
The judges were suspended for their alleged roles in the political crisis that led to the impeachment of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on October 16, 2006, over alleged N1.4 billion poultry scandal, abuse of office, and illegal operation of a foreign account.

He was subsequently allocated High Court 2 where he would be hearing cases and performing other judicial functions.
