Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has sworn in three judges who his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki, refused to swear in, despite the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, NJC.
The three judges were sworn into the Edo State High Court at the Government House in Benin City on Monday.
Okpebholo charged the judges to maintain high standard of conduct, ensure fair dispute resolution, uphold the rights of citizens, and bring culprits to justice.
“During my swearing-in ceremony as Governor of Edo State on the 12th November 2024, I acknowledged the critical role of the judiciary under the doctrine of Separation of Powers. Today we are gathered here to strengthen that role for the judiciary.
