Ejiofor Calls on Judiciary to Uphold Constitution Amid Controversial Rulings

Human rights lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor warns that recent Federal High Court decisions have raised serious constitutional questions and risk eroding public confidence in Nigeria’s justice system. He reminds that once public trust in the courts is lost, the rule of law weakens. Ejiofor highlights two disputed judgments that challenge the principle that final court decisions cannot be revisited except on grounds like fraud or nullity. Ejiofor urges the National Judicial Council, under the Chief Justice’s leadership, to enforce robust judicial accountability without compromising independence. He stresses that a strong, impartial judiciary is essential to maintaining separation of powers and safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy.
