The state Supreme Court cited problems with Circuit Court Judge April T. Ademiluyi’s behavior toward jurors, impartiality on the bench and compliance with the law

The Maryland Supreme Court removed Judge April T. Ademiluyi from the Prince George’s County bench this week, citing “egregious” behavior in violation of the state’s code of judicial conduct, an extreme and rare move for the state’s high court.

The specifics of the alleged misconduct are unclear because the high court did not include an explanatory opinion with its brief ruling. The court broadly cited at least a dozen codes Ademiluyi allegedly violated as a Circuit Court judge, involving her behavior with jurors, her impartiality and fairness, her compliance with the law and her cooperation with disciplinary authorities, but it did not offer specific details of the purported misconduct.

Ademiluyi has presided over cases in the county’s circuit court since 2020, when she was elected as a judge by Maryland voters after running a grass-roots campaign.

She has alleged in complaints and court documents that her outsider status drew hostility from her judicial colleagues, creating a working environment that prompted her to file what she said was a whistleblower complaint against her supervisors in 2022.

In a statement, she asserted that her removal from the bench is retaliation for that complaint. After reporting her supervisors to the Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities, they responded with a complaint of their own, alleging misconduct by Ademiluyi in hundreds of pages of documents that the commission and Maryland Supreme Court deemed valid.

If she can't respect her host, then she should go back to Ogbomosho.

Our yoruba Judges are terribly corrupt. See the way Justice Kekere-ekun a yoruba justice of the supreme court and her co-injustices, messed up Imo state, one of the most peaceful states, by foisting an unpopular candidate Uzodinma on the people.

Imo has known no peace since then.

Kekere-Ekun wherever you are, may you never know peace. The blood of all who have died as a result of your evil judgement in Imo state will continue to haunt you and your generations to come.

You will have a generation of imbeciles, and never-do-wells, who will squander all that you have ever worked for. And your legacy will die.. Ase.

These comments above mine are just so harsh and unfair. Don't blame an entire tribe for the misfortune of just one person.
