Southern Nigerian judge interrupting contrasting bits? I*O

Must be IBO but I would appreciate an explanation of the parsing.

There is also an IJO people J in 1 and zero

Thanks very much, buddy. It's in neither the BRB nor Bradford and a google search corrects to IJAW, so that's a really sneaky clue. There were several other similarly sneaky clues in a very tough puzzle.

10a Used trickery on engaging Washington floater picked from natural setting (11) ??????A?T??
6d Traveller saw the sights of alternatively named isle (7) D???K?A

6d. DIDAKAI, travelling tinker
DID, saw the sights of + AKA, alternatively named, + I(sle)

Hi xwordfan, might the final letter in 6d be wrong?
Didakai (a variant of diddicoy)
did (as in "do" Paris (or wherever), past tense) + aka (also known as) + i (island)

Thank you both ...yes mistake in 15a!

10. Wildcrafted
WILED (tricked) around DC + RAFT (floater)

Not a word I knew, but it’s in the ODE as “gather from the wild”

Thank you jono!
