The Federal High Court in Abuja rules on a lawsuit seeking to block the appointment of a “popular” director of the FCT High Court as a judge. According to the reports, the court delivers a verdict on the bid to stop the appointment process involving the bodies responsible for considering judicial nominations.
Daily Post Nigeria says the case is dismissed by Justice Inyang Ekwo, with the court ruling that the suit should not proceed. Legit.ng similarly focuses on the court’s decision in a suit meant to halt the appointment, urging readers to review the ruling, but provides less procedural detail. Both outlets describe the same overall development: the court resolves the challenge to whether the individual can be considered for judicial appointment.
While the filings and parties are framed slightly differently, the consistent takeaway across sources is that the Federal High Court’s decision does not support the request to stop the appointment process.
