Supreme Court dismisses suits challenging courts' virtual sitting

on Tuesday struck out two suits by Lagos and Ekiti State governments, challenging the legality of virtual court sittings.

The suit has the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation and the National Assembly as the first and second defendants respectively. In the suit, Mr Fapohunda asked the court to determine whether the directive issued by the AGF to the Heads of Courts at Federal and State levels, as it relates to the conduct of virtual proceedings in court, is not a violation of the federalism provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

Apart from the Attorney General of the Federation, the Attorneys General of Lagos and Ogun States who have implemented virtual court proceedings were also listed as second and third defendants.
