A lawyer in Nigeria has threatened to petition the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) over alleged delays, withholding, and improper handling of court letters concerning a criminal case in Warri, Delta State. Andrew Elekeokwuri, the lawyer representing a defendant, notified the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court in Abuja of his intention to escalate the matter if the court's administrative department fails to explain what happened to the letters sent to the Chief Judge.
The lawyer has been seeking the Chief Judge's intervention in the case, including a request for the matter to be transferred to another division of the Federal High Court. Elekeokwuri's complaint centers on correspondence relating to Charge No. FHC/WR/92C/2022, between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho.
