Nigeria among most corrupt nations - CJN
He decried unethical practices in the judiciary, which he said has made court registries a cesspool of corruption for judicial officers.
In fact, the CJN yesterday rated Nigeria as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Corruption, he said, permeates all facets of the country's life.
Musdapher spoke in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, at the 5th Mohammed Mustapha Akanbi (MMA) Faculty of Law Annual Lecture.
In his lecture entitled: "The challenges of judicial reform in the 21st century: The Nigerian experience", the CJN said:
"Nigeria is adjudged to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Corruption permeates every facet of the Nigerian society and judiciary is not immune from it. The bane of corruption and unethical practices within the judiciary is a particular problem which agitates me.
"In the course of examining this most unfortunate set of circumstances and suggesting a way through which the practices could be curtailed and indeed eradicated, one must not underestimate its depth within our profession.
"It is a sad fact that not only are the registries of courts becoming a cesspool of corruption, but judicial officers are increasingly being seen as corrupt. This has undermined public confidence in our judiciary in recent times.
