FCT Area Councils: Group raises alarm over conflicting orders by high court judges

The group in a statement signed by Mr. Ifeanyi Okechukwu described the development as a disturbing trend in the nation’s judiciary in which two court orders were made by two Judges – Justices Ibrahim Mohammed and O. A. Adeniyi – on the same subject matter.

The group said Justice Mohammed had on May 13, 2022, ruled that the tenure of the Chairmen of the six Area Council and their Councilors in the FCT was now four years. But in a move to have the judgment set aside, an application was filed by Abubakar Jabrin Giri, the Chairman-elect of Gwagwalada Area Council at the Registry of Justice Ibrahim Mohammed’s Court, while the Minister of the FCT, Mohammed Bello filed another application to set aside the judgment at the Registry of Justice O. A. Adeniyi’s Court.

The group stressed that applications pending in both courts have the same suit number , and other well-meaning Nigerians to act immediately to save the judiciary from this shameful act.
