Don’t take litigants’ husbands, CJ tells customary court judges

At the swearing-in ceremony, which took place on the premises of the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja, the Chief Judge advised the new Customary Court presidents and members to deal with cases that would come before them, especially family disputes, with patience and the fear of God.

He said, “When you are dealing with family matters, inheritance matters, you must exercise patience and the fear of God. These are the areas where we usually have complaints. We used to get complaints about members and presidents taking over litigants’ wives but I have implicit trust in you. You are all looking very handsome but please, let that handsomeness tell in your work, not in other people’s wives.
