The National Judicial Council (NJC) has cautioned retired judicial officers to be wary of fraudsters targeting their retirement benefits. 

In a statement on Sunday, Soji Oye, NJC director of information, said fraudsters have been making phone calls to retired officers to pay certain sums of money to help them fast-track payment of their retirement benefits.

Oye distanced the council from the calls and urged retired judicial officers to avoid falling victim to “these unscrupulous individuals”.

“The attention of the National Judicial Council has been drawn to the incessant phone calls being made to retired Judicial Officers by some unscrupulous individuals demanding payments to fast track the processing of their retirement benefits,” the statement reads.

“The National Judicial Council, by this medium, informs retired Judicial Officers and members of the public to totally disregard such phone calls as NJC would never demand money from any Judicial Officer to fast-track the payment of his retirement benefit.

“The public is hereby advised to be wary of and report such calls to the Pension Department of the Council for appropriate action.”
