Judge apologises for ‘improper’ remark

A CIRCUIT court judge yesterday apologised for an “improper” remark to a Nigerian woman who appeared before his court last month.

Judge Harvey Kenny’s apology came as another judge became embroiled in a race relations controversy. The judge was widely criticised after he told Burry Abebanjo: “I don’t think any Nigerian is obeying the law of the land when it comes to driving.”

Ms Abebanjo was appealing penalties in two separate cases of driving without insurance.
