Election Tribunal: Appellate court needs more than 60 days to determine appeals – Judge

Maikyau, represented by the Assistant Secretary, Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Mr Oladipo Olasope, urged the appellate court to post more judges to its Ibadan Division.

This, he said, was due to the volume of cases and inadequate manpower at the division.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ige was sworn in as an Oyo State High Court Judge on June 27, 2001 and elevated to the Court of Appeal on Oct. 31, 2012.

NAN reports that Ige, who retired from the Abuja Division at the age of 70, had earlier in his career served at the Ilorin, Jos and Owerri Divisions.

The valedictory court session was attended by Mr Bayo Lawal, the Oyo State Deputy Governor.

There were also the representatives of the Oyo State Chief Judge, Justice Iyabo Yerima, and a former Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Adeniji Badejoko.
