Justice Alogba stated this on Tuesday at the Ikeja State High Court where he hosted a cocktail party to kick start the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law Annual Conference 2023 slated for June 23.
He reiterated that the judiciary was not doing enough, calling on judges in the country to deliberate and ask themselves where they went wrong. Speaking on the theme of the conference, “Post-election Nigeria: The judiciary in the eye of the storm,” the judge said that the legal profession ought to be doing better, adding that it had to bring back the good old days with newer specialties. .
He said, “These people are complaining about everybody concerned with administration of justice. These are the orders that have a statutory duty to dispense justice in their different spheres and if they choose not to burn hospitals, government houses but courts, police stations, and correctional facilities centres, then they are complaining about the administration of justice.
“What we should ask ourselves is, are they justified, do they have any justification for doing so, I think so. The justification might be right or wrong but as they did then, they still do today to complain about the administration of justice in the country. We are not doing enough.”
