The Supreme Court said on Monday the holding of virtual sitting by courts in accordance with the practice directions issued by heads of Courts, is not unconstitutional at the moment.
In the Kalu case, the Supreme Court held the fiat given by the President of the Court of Appeal to the Justice of the Court of Appeal, who was elevated to the Appellate Court, to return to the Federal High Court to conclude the trial of Kalu and two others, was unconstitutional and proceeded to void the entire proceedings.
In his intervention, Justice Rhodes-Vivour said it was better that the applicants wait for the National Assembly to find out whether or not what it will come up with will go against the practice direction issued by Chief Judges of the states and the National Judicial Council on virtual sitting. On Fapohunda’ claim that judges were unwilling to sit, Justice Mohammed askded the Ekiti AG to report such judges to the NJC for appropriate penalties.
