The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, has redeployed 11 judges in different divisions of the court.
Two prominent judges of the court, Justice Mohammed Liman of Port Harcourt Division and Justice Okon Abang of the Abuja Division, are affected by the posting.
The Chief Judge, in a circular dated December 21, 2016 and addressed to “All Judges of Federal High Court,” redeployed Justice Liman from Port Harcourt to Enugu Division, and Justice Abang redeployed from Abuja to Asaba Division, Delta State.
The circular obtained from a lawyer close to the Chief Judge’s office directed the affected judges to resume at their new stations by January 30.
The Chief Judge gave “the recent developments in the court” as the reason for the posting.
Details of the said “recent developments” were not stated in the circular.
According to the circular, the posting would not affect the criminal cases the affected judges are currently handling.
