A federal high court in Abuja has fixed June 25 for judgment in a suit seeking to stop the appointment of 18 new Justices for the Court of Appeal.
The group, through its lawyer, Mr Max Ozoaka, argued that the selection of the 18 Justices done by the National Judicial Council violated the provisions of the 1999 Constitution through lopsidedness in the nomination. Usoro told the court that the plaintiff was an Igbo socio-cultural organisation and that its aims and objectives did not include instituting cases of public interest.
The Igbo socio-cultural group, had in its suit asked the Federal High Court, Abuja, to stop the appointment of justices of the Court of Appeal over an alleged lopsidedness of the exercise. The group sought a court order compelling the defendants to replace the three vacancies in the South East slots with three new justices from the zone.
