No reason was adduced for the action of the Chief Judge, made public in a statement on Sunday by the Director of Information of the Court, Dr Catherine Oby Christopher .


The statement indicated that the redeployment takes immediate effect


Those redeployed are;

Justices M. G. Umar from Enugu judicial division to Abuja,

Tijjani Garba Ringim, from Gombe division to Yola division, 

M. T. Segun-Bello, from Abakaliki division to Enugu division,

Bala Khalifa-Mohammed Usman, from Yola division to Awka division and 

Amina Aliyu Mohammed, from Awka division to Gombe division.


The statement said the affected judges have been directed to deliver all pending judgements in their current stations within the shortest possible time.


Meanwhile, the judges currently resident in the Abakaliki and Katsina judicial divisions have been directed to take responsibility for all the cases already pending or newly instituted in their respective divisions until otherwise instructed.


In a related development, the general public was notified that all cases pending before Court No. 5 in the Abuja judicial division will be attended to by the judge who has been moved to Abuja for that purpose.


Consequently, the Chief Judge explained that there is no need for litigants or counsel to apply to his office for re-assignment of cases that have been pending before the Court of suspended Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo.
