The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, on Friday said that the newly-inaugurated Local Government Elections Appeal Tribunal in the state will serve justice to all parties before it.
Alogba oversaw inauguration of five Lagos State High Court Judges to adjudicate in the tribunal which will hear petitions arising from the July 24 council elections in Lagos State.
The judges are Justices Morenike Obadina (the Chairman), Beatrice Oke-Lawal, Olubunmi Fadipe, Wasiu Animahun and Jubril Bashua.
Speaking to the journalists after the inauguration, Alogba said that the judges were highly experienced and had been serving on the bench for no less than 10 years.
“Some of them are 20 years old on the bench. It is a judicial oath they have lived up to, and Lagos is known for excellence.
“Despite all odds, I am certain that they will do their best in serving justice to everybody who come before them in accordance with the law, without fair or favour or any bias at all,” he said.
