This is even as all cases previously assigned to Court No. 5 in the Abuja Judicial Division will now be handled by the judge redeployed to Abuja for that purpose.
Those affected and their new postings are as follows: Justice M. Umar, redeployed from the Enugu Judicial Division to Abuja; Justice Tijjani Ringim, from the Gombe Division to the Yola Division, Justice M. Segun-Bello, from the Abakaliki Division to the Enugu Division; Justice Bala Usman, from the Yola Division to Awka Division; and Justice Amina Mohammed, from the Awka Division to the Gombe Division.
Christopher noted that the redeployments take immediate effect and asked the judges to make their best efforts to deliver all pending judgements in their current stations within the shortest possible time.
Meanwhile, judges currently resident in the Abakaliki and Katsina Judicial Divisions are to assume responsibility for all cases—both pending and newly instituted—within their respective jurisdictions until further notice.
Also, all cases previously assigned to Court No. 5 in the Abuja Judicial Division will now be handled by the judge redeployed to Abuja for that purpose, hence the there was no need for litigants or legal counsel to apply to the chief judge for reassignment of such cases.
