The Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Justice Ishaq Bello, has said the court had outlawed the hearing of political cases from other states.
The Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory , Justice Ishaq Bello, has said the court had outlawed the hearing of political cases from other states.
Justice Bello said: “Political cases that originate from other component states of the federation that, for whatever reason, are brought here , shall no longer be heard here.” “And, when they see the writing on the wall, they start bringing up stories, either pinning it to the judge presiding or any other anomaly they can conceive from the figment of their imagination.”
“Even if there is any regime that gives the slightest window for the assumption of jurisdiction, so long as it is the view of the presiding judge that the matter is better attended to at the place of origin of the case, it will be returned back,” Justice Bello said.
