The spokesperson disclosed that Salisu was degraded from Grade Level 13 to Grade Level 12 and removed him from his position as Registrar in charge of High Court No. 13 at the JSC’s 84th meeting held on Friday.
“He was also issued a strong warning to desist from any further unethical conduct or influencing others to commit similar acts, failing which stricter sanctions including criminal prosecution will be taken against him,” he added
The action, he said, was taken in line with the JSC’s mandate to uphold integrity and discipline within the judicial arm of government.
