The Magistrates Association of Nigeria in Bauchi State has decried the “poor condition of service” under which its members are operating. During the association’s New Year celebration, the Chairman, Abdulmumini Adamu, lamented that magistrates in the state were compelled to board commercial vehicles alongside litigants and other commuters, which he described as risky and ridiculous.
“In the area of training and retraining, magistrates in this jurisdiction are lagging behind, if comparison is to be made with other jurisdictions due to lack of sponsorship.” “The last term magistrates were sponsored by the state government to attend the Nigerian Bar Association conference and the National Judicial Institute was in 2018, except by Zoom or online,” he said.
He, however, stated that since the law came into force in August 2022, the judiciary had yet to feel its impact. Bauchi State Chief Judge, Mrs. Rabi Umar, cautioned the magistrates to be just and upright in the dispensation of justice in their respective courts.
