The Chief Judge of Niger State, Justice Halima Ibrahim Abdulmalik, has charged Magistrates and Shari’a Court Judges that will preside over the Local Government Council Election Petition Tribunal in the state, to guard against any pressure that will influence their decisions while adjudicating on election matters.

Justice Halima Abdulmalik also warned them not to allow politicians or political interests to intimidate and pressure them in the discharge of their judicial duties.
Addressing the participants at a one-day capacity-building workshop for Magistrates and Shari’a Court Judges that are to head the election petition tribunal held at the conference room of the Niger State Judiciary headquarters in Minna, the Chief Judge advised them to guard against any act that will bring their professional integrity into disrepute.
Justice Abdulmalik urged the participants to adhere strictly to the ethics and code of conduct of the judiciary throughout the period of their assignments.
She noted that, as judicial officers that are guided by a code of conduct and ethical practice, “There is the need for you to be guided by the norms and ethical practice of judicial officers.”
According to her, the essence of the workshop was to enable the judicial officers to familiarise themselves with the processes and procedures of election petition matters, stressing the need for them to be guided by the doctrines of their profession.
She noted that election cases are time-bound and sensitive, hence the need to handle them with utmost diligence and integrity. The Chief Judge further cautioned participants against any act capable of undermining their integrity or that of the judiciary.
She, however, commended the Training and Education Committee of the judiciary for organising the programme, describing it as a vital measure to refresh the knowledge and skills of judicial officers on election petition cases.
While urging the participants to keep rapt attention in the knowledge they will acquire from the training workshop, Justice Halima told them to put their heads together in arriving at a given ruling on any election matter that is brought before them.
In his welcome address, a member of the Training Committee, Justice Danladi Ahmed Badeggi, said the capacity-building workshop was aimed at equipping participants with the proper methods of conducting proceedings, issuing orders, and writing judgments, particularly in election-related matters.
He charged the participants to pay rapt attention to the lectures and discussions for effective service delivery.
