The National Judicial Council has issued a query to Justice Olamide Oloyede over allegation of husband-snatching.
It would be recalled that Oloyede initiated a petition calling for the removal of the state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
The NJC issued the query dated July 28, 2015 and with reference number, NJC/S.29/HC.OS/16/1/55, against Justice Oloyede, upon a petition by a mother of four, Emily Richard-Obire, who accused the judge of cohabiting with her (Richard-Obire’s) husband, Punch reports.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the NJC, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, who personally signed the query, directed Justice Oloyede to respond to the query within 14 days of receiving it.
The query was issued to the judge through the Osun State Chief Judge, Justice O. A. Ojo.
It was entitled: ‘Re: Petition against Justice Olamide Oloyede of the Osun State Judiciary,’ and reads thus: “I forward herewith a petition dated July 13, 2015 against you by one Mrs. Emily Richard-Obire on the above subject matter. The petition speaks for itself.
“I shall be glad to have your comments within 14 days from the date of your receipt of this letter.”
It could not be ascertained on Monday if Oloyede had responded to the query.
Richard-Obire alleged in her petition that the judge’s relationship with her (the petitioner’s) husband was threatening her 23-year-old marriage, which had produced four children, one of whom is suffering from autism and Down’s Syndrome.
In the petition addressed to Justice Mohammed, the petitioner alleged that her husband, Richard Obire, moved out of their matrimonial home in Lagos since 2011 and often travelled to Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to cohabit with the judge.
She said her husband and Justice Oloyode are both adherents to Grail Message and must have met in one of their meetings.
According to her, the relationship between her husband and the judge had got to the extent that the judge’s official car was now in permanent custody of Obire.
Urging the NJC to restrain Justice Oloyede “from further acts of having an affair with my husband”, Richard-Obire expressed fear that if something urgent is not done, the judge might finally “snatch” her husband and make him abdicate his responsibilities.
The petition read in part: “I am afraid that if something urgent is not done, Justice Oloyede may finally snatch my husband and he may eventually and finally abdicate his responsibilities. I have evidence to the effect that she has been addressing my husband as her ‘husband’ and also my husband addresses her as ‘my beautiful wife’ knowing full well that there is subsistence of marriage between us.
“I urge you to use your good offices to restrain Justice Olamide Oloyede from further acts of having an affair with my husband.”
