A legal practitioner, Boma Alabi , in this interview with LESI NWISAGBO, speaks on the issue of conflicting court decisions and the summoning of some chief judges by the Chief Justice of NigeriaGenerally speaking, courts of coordinate jurisdiction cannot overrule each other. If you are unhappy with anything being done, you appeal to the next level. You cannot have a court of coordinate jurisdiction giving directions over its equal.
It is best to await the outcome of the investigation of the record of proceedings to know what exactly went on before those courts. Until then, we will not know what information was given to the judges that led to the rulings.It can be prevented easily. It is just a question of centralising our reporting and law reports, having it reported in real time and giving the tools to our judiciary to enable the researchers to conduct research and quickly get information.
The Chief Judge has a supervisory role in the state. He is the head of the courts in that state. Therefore, he is the appropriate person to be summoned by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, who will not interface directly with the judges, but rather with the head of their courts to say exactly what is going on in their jurisdiction and he has to respond to that by making his own enquiries.
