Business activities at the Federal High Court (FHC) were, on Thursday, paralysed due to the election break earlier announced by the Chief Judge (CJ), Justice John Tsoho.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Justice Tsoho had, in a circular dated March 2, granted the judges a few days’ breaks to enable them to perform their civic duties.
According to the circular, the administrative judges in the Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt judicial divisions should ensure that a judge is designated to cater for the North, South-West, and South-South/South-East Geo-political Areas respectively, regarding urgent matters during the period. INEC’s spokesperson, Festus Okoye, in a statement, said the postponement was to make for adequate timing to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System ahead of the polls
However, at Court 11 where Justice Obiora Egwuatu presides, out of the many cases listed on the cause list, only a judgment on an electoral matter was delivered by the judge.
