office as a Justice of the Court of appeal.
It is neither
disputed nor in any doubt that he had ceased to be a judge
of the Federal High Court from the moment of his elevation to
the Court of Appeal. His Lordship’s subscription to the oath
of the office of the Justice of the Court of appeal on 22nd
June, 2018 puts the matter beyond any iota of doubt that he
had ceased to be a Judge of the Federal High Court. As at
22nd July, 2018, when the President of the Court of Appeal
issued to M. B. Idris, JCA –
By virtue of the provisions of Section
396(7) of the Criminal Justice Act,
2015, you have my FIAT/Permission
to conclude the part heard matter:
FHC/CR/56/07 – now pending before
the Federal High Court, Lagos;
the said Justice M. B. Idris, JCA had no doubt ceased to be a
Judge of the Federal High Court.
