Bandits’ attacks in some local councils of Niger State have forced magistrates to relocate their courts to the High Court complex in Minna, the state capital.

The relocated courts include that of Kuta, and Gwada in Shiroro Local Council, Kafinkoro in Paikoro Local Council and Mariga in Mariga Local Council.

It was gathered that an overseeing High Court Judge of Kuta, Justice Mohammed Adishetu Mohammed, has also relocated to Minna. A Sharia Court Judge of Erena in Shiroro was abducted last year. Also, heavily armed gunmen attempted to invade a Magistrate Court in Mariga in May this year, but a community vigilante group and local hunters swiftly repelled them.

The ugly trend has already crippled the speedy administration of justice in the state, as the fate of most litigants of pending cases in the courts hang in the balance.
