The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, has decried the high number of political cases, saying it was taking a monumental toll on the court’s dockets.
Ariwoola, who stated this at the swearing-in of nine Justices of the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Wednesday, noted that several crimes had also contributed to the steady rise of court cases in the country.
Political candidates who lost at the 2023 general elections had flooded the courts with cases challenging the outcome of the election results.
