The National Judicial Council (NJC) has been urged to investigate an FCT High Court judge who issued an order to seal a property located in Lagos State. Concerns have been raised over the legality and jurisdiction of the order, with calls for the judiciary to uphold transparency and fairness.
Legal experts argued that the action may exceed the court’s jurisdiction, as the property falls outside the Federal Capital Territory. They emphasized that judicial orders must respect state boundaries and follow proper procedures to maintain public trust in the judiciary.
The call for NJC intervention comes amid growing debates over judicial conduct and accountability in Nigeria. Observers have stressed that any perceived overreach by judges could undermine the credibility of the legal system.
Meanwhile, stakeholders are awaiting the NJC’s response, urging a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the order to ensure justice is served and similar incidents are prevented in the future.
