Sulyman Kawu
Sulyman Durosylorun Kawu is a Nigerian judge who is currently serving as the Chief Judge of Kwara State since 2014. He was appointed by Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed on the recommendation of the Kwara State Judicial Service Commission.[1][2]
In 2017, Kawu during a swearing in of judges warned judicial officials that corrupt judges who take bribe to give biased judgement would go to hell.[3][4]
In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Kawu granted amnesty to 46 inmates awaiting trial at the Oke-Kura maximum and Mandala Medium prisons in Ilorin.[5][6]
