The oath-taking ceremony took place on Wednesday at the High Court No. 1 premises in Bauchi.
Justice Umar highlighted the judiciary as the last hope of the common citizen, encouraging the judges to perform their duties without fear or favour. She stressed the importance of fairness, diligence, and strict adherence to the rule of law, noting that public trust in the judiciary depends heavily on the conduct of its officers.
She cautioned the judges against issuing orders beyond their jurisdiction, particularly those that could hinder security agencies from performing their lawful duties, and warned that misconduct would not be tolerated.
Emphasizing continuous learning, ethical conduct, and professionalism, the Chief Judge urged the new judges to justify the confidence placed in them following a rigorous selection process. She noted that they would handle civil cases, as well as disputes related to land, family, and commercial matters within their jurisdictions, strengthening justice delivery at the grassroots.
Umar also commended members of the Judicial Service Commission and the appointment committee for their transparency and diligence in the selection process.
Speaking on behalf of the appointees, Mr. Muhammad Salihu expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and pledged that the judges would carry out their duties with honesty and dedication.
A fresh leadership crisis has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State, as a faction of the party announced the suspension of two former governors, two ex-senators and several other members over alleged misconduct.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision was announced on April 15, 2026, after a meeting of the faction’s State Executive Committee.
Among those suspended are former governors John Odigie-Oyegun and Osareimen Osunbor, as well as former senators Yisa Braimoh and Ehigie Uzamere.
Others affected include Nosa Ehima, former Oredo Local Government chairman; Sylvester Ewanehi, a former state commissioner; Tony Alile, the party’s newly elected Edo chairman; Jafaru Sumaila; Stella Alli; Igieogbe Asemota; and Christopher Ojeikere, the state publicity secretary.
Factional state chairman Kennedy Odion said the suspension followed allegations of insubordination, anti-party conduct and failure to comply with party directives.
He also accused the affected members of setting up parallel structures within the party and engaging in actions capable of causing division and confusion.
According to Odion, the State Executive Committee further found that some of the suspended members were involved in groups not recognised by the party’s constitution.
As part of the disciplinary action, all affected members have been barred from attending meetings, participating in party activities, making decisions on behalf of the ADC, or presenting themselves as party representatives.
The directive also instructed all party organs across Edo State to deny the suspended members recognition and access throughout the suspension period. Local government and ward executives were directed to ensure full compliance and report any breaches.
Odion said each affected member would receive a formal notice detailing the allegations and would be invited to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee to defend themselves, call witnesses and seek representation if necessary.
He added that the disciplinary process would follow the party’s constitutional procedures, while those suspended have the right to appeal within 14 days. Any appeal, he said, would be reviewed and decided within 21 days.
The faction said the suspension takes immediate effect and is binding on all party structures in the state.
