Abuja — Ahead of next month's general elections, Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu, yesterday, swore in 110 judicial officers that will sit over election disputes that may arise after the polls.
The inaugurated members of the 2011 election petition tribunals were drawn from a total of 210 qualified judicial officers in the country.
By this arrangement, each state of the federation is to have two tribunals to preside over the national and state Houses of Assembly election disputes and a governorship election tribunal to handle election petitions arising from the forthcoming polls.
