JUSTICE PETER LIFU MOVED TO FEDERAL HIGH COURT, ABUJA DIVISION

Justice Peter Lifu Odo of the Federal High court Lagos has been moved to the Abuja division of the court.

Justice Lifu will occupy the space left vacant following the elevation of Justice A.R. Mohammed to the Court of Appeal who will fill the Sharia slot on the appellate court bench.

A notice dated Thursday, January 11, 2023 stated that Justice Lifu’s resumption in Abuja is with immediate effect.

It will be recalled that, Justice Lifu is the courageous judge that struck out the Federal Government’s suit seeking recovery and forfeiture of the over N70 trillion it claimed was hidden in 29 bank accounts by top government officials. 

The judge noted that the case, filed in 2021, was not diligently prosecuted.

On May 24, 2022, the revered jurist granted an order restraining transport unions from collecting union dues and levies from commercial drivers who are non-union members in all motor parks in Lagos State.

He dismissed a suit by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to disqualify Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly candidates from contesting in the 2023 general elections which was affirmed on appeal.

Justice Lifu is currently hearing, among others, the case of five alleged drug barons said to have been arrested in Ikorodu with over two tonnes of cocaine, by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
