The Judicial and Legal Services Commission (JLSC) has introduced a new addition to the High Court of Justice in Antigua and Barbuda.
Justice Tunde Ademola Bakre, a highly accomplished legal practitioner called to the bar in 1993, commenced his role as a High Court Judge on October 1, 2023.
Justice Bakre’s impressive career includes a stint as a judge at the Ogun State High Court in 2013 and a secondment to provide technical assistance to the Judiciary of the Gambia in 2018.
This appointment comes as Justice Bakre replaces Justice Colin Williams, who served as a High Court Judge in Antigua and Barbuda for slightly over two years before being reassigned to a significant role in the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Justice Williams now leads Dominica’s criminal division, addressing a pressing need for a Criminal Judge in the nation.
This transition followed directives from the Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, Her Ladyship the Hon Dame Janice Pereira, in July 2023, and has effectively restored the High Court’s criminal division operations.

That look like a webcam photo of a con artist to me.
The Chinese and the Nigerians are coming. Oh no, they are already there. No one in the entire Caribbean is qualified to be a Judge.So dem haffu go a Nigeria go find one.
Why are we bringing judges from Africa now? This is nonsense!
This is a miscarriage of justice. He knows nothing about the Caribbean laws and coming from a lawless society makes matters worse. The optics are concerning! Antigua and the Caribbean have distinguished lawyers and judges to fill this position. The Bar Association should protest this appointment. How can people trust the government when their best interest are not being considered.
Here we go again.
