Justice Adeyeye stated this, yesterday, while inaugurating a Customary Court in Ido Ile community in Ekiti West Local Council of the state.

The chief judge, who urged litigants to avoid bribing judges to sway justice, reiterated the determination of the state to establish an incorruptible, fearless and independent judiciary. He commended the people of Ido Ile for providing necessary infrastructure for the take-off of the court.

The CJ also congratulated the Olujudo, Oba Aderemi Obaleye and the people of the community on the achievement and encouraged other communities to take a cue.
