Delayed Justice: Appeal Court begins sitting in Abeokuta to clear backlog of cases

The Ibadan Division of the Court of Appeal has temporarily relocated to Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, where the appellate court is handling a backlog of over 100 cases.

Four panels began sitting on Thursday, with three panellists each at the Judiciary Complex in Kobape, on the outskirts of Abeokuta.
