The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday struck out a suit challenging the alleged marginalisation of South-East judges in the appointment of justices of the Court of Appeal.

Justice Inyang Ekwo made the order while ruling on the notice of preliminary objection raised by the defendants in the suit by the South-East Cultural group, Alaigbo Foundation, against the National Judicial Council.The judge also stated that the group cannot register as a foundation and then parade itself as an Igbo pan-cultural group.

The group had asked the court, in its originating summons, to determine whether the defendants can disregard the principle of fairness, due process, and federal character in the appointment of judges to the Court of Appeal, with regards to the South-East Zone of Nigeria. It also asked the court to determine whether the South-East was not entitled to three slots in the ongoing appointment of judges to the Court of Appeal to fill up the vacancies that were caused by the elevation, retirement, and death of the three justices of the Court of Appeal from the zone.
