[1] Adebukola Banjoko excused herself from the trial of former chairman, House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy Regime, Farouk Lawan and one other in 2014 as she ordered the case file be returned to the court's Chief Judge, Justice Ibrahim Bukar.

She refused to continue with proceedings in the case despite the withdrawal of an application filed by Lawan, asking her to disqualify herself from the case after the Chief Judge had cleared her of the allegation in a petition as she tags the contents of the petition to be "scandalous and a challenge" on her integrity.
