The Chief Judge of Kogi State, Hon Justice Josiah Majebi, says the presence of court in any community is an evidence of civilisation and an indication of adherence to rule of law by such community.
Justice Majebi made this assertion when he commissioned a Senior Magistrate's Court at Imane in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State. His words, 'A society that has faith in administration of justice and also prepares to make a conducive environment for its achievement is a civilized society.' The Chief Judge inaugurated the court following the community's concerted effort to have the court located in the area.
That confidence will be built that their investment would be protected and their presence in the community secured. So I want to say that as your community is attractive and advancing, with the establishment of this court, I assure you that whatever progress you may have made before now, you will progress more.' He emphasized that the court was there to sanction law breakers, stressing that courts are meant to regulate the conduct of individuals.
