Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called on the Court of Appeal to reconsider its centralised approach and explore other alternatives to ensure proximity to justice delivery for Nigerians.
Onwubiko explained that the centralisation of cases in the Court of Appeal has created serious issues that demand immediate attention and resolution. Continuing, Onwubiko said, “The President of the Court of Appeal has directed that all appeals arising from the southern part of the country must be heard in Lagos, while those from the northern part of the country must go to Abuja. While centralization may have been initiated with good intentions, it has caused unnecessary hardships and financial burdens on individuals who have to travel long distances to attend hearings.
“We want to emphasize that the rule of law is the foundation of any just society. If these allegations are not addressed, the very essence of justice in Nigeria may be completely eroded. It is our duty to protect the rights and freedoms of every Nigerian citizen, and we will continue to advocate for a transparent, fair, and accessible justice system”.
