The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, to appear before it and give the reason for refusing to swear in eight judges-designate of the Edo State High Court, who were recommended for appointment as Honourable High Court Judges by the National Judicial Council since June 2023.
The court, presided over by Hon. Justice O. A. Egwuatu, after hearing the application and submission of counsel for the plaintiff/applicant, Dafenone Akpomudiare, Esq., of Idahagbon & Co., gave a bench ruling on the motion ex parte.
The court subsequently adjourned the matter to January 22, 2024. All the defendants and respondents have been served with the court-enrolled order.
Under the Federal High Court rules, the Governor and other defendants have three days to comply with the order to show course by filing their court processes as respondents to the order of the court.
