Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has sworn in a new state acting chief judge urging him to treat issues of rape and other criminal matters urgently.
The governor, who spoke at the occasion, told the new official, Gumna Kaigama, at the Government House Damaturu that “everyone is deeply concerned about upsurge in crimes such as rape and kidnapping and other legal challenges in the country at present.”
“The fundamental human rights of all citizens regardless of their social status should be equally protected. Nigerians, wherever they live, should feel free to express themselves without causing infringement on the honour and dignity of any person and be allowed to pursue their legitimate goals in the country.”
“The new judge is noted for his impartiality, hard work, simplicity, selflessness and fearlessness among other personal traits in the discharge of his duties. I am therefore, confident in his ability to discharge his duties effectively in our collective quest for quick dispensation of justice and a harmonious working relationship between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of Government in Yobe State,” Mr Buni said.
