It will be recalled that Justice Shuaibu who was the Judge of the Federal High Court, Owerri, was transferred to the Kaduna Division of the Court, but on assignment by the Chief Judge, Justice Auta to return to Owerri Division to hear and conclude the matter. When the case came up for mention on Friday March 18, 2016, at the Federal High Court, Owerri, for the adoption of written addresses by parties; counsel to Gov. Ikpeazu, C.C Elele told Justice Shuaibu that the order directing him to hear and conclude the matter has been revoked by the Chief Judge of the Federa High Court, Abuja, even as the Judge expressed surprise that he has no such letter from Justice Auta. Justice Shuaibu later adjourned the matter to Thursday 28th April, 2016, to enable him confirm from the Chief Judge if there was an order directing him to hands off the matter. According to the petition; “The announcement of the revocation of the fiat by Barrister C. C. Elele today and the consequent adjournment from today 18/3/2016 to 28/4/2016 to enable Hon. Justice Shuaibu (Judge) on assignment to conclude the matter by fiat, to find out whether there is a revocation order against the fiat or not, has to say the least embarrassed everybody because of the sacredness of the institution of the Judiciary to which My Lord is the head of the Federal High Court. “In my humble view, there is no way Barrister C.C Elele should be in possession of any order revoking Your Lordship’s fiat granted in my favour, when I do not have any copy or any knowledge about it. “The Judge, Lawyers and everybody in the Court were very surprised how Barrister C. C. Elele was the one informing Hon. Justice Shuaibu of official Information which Your Lordship, the Honourable Chief Judge should communicate to him if it exists. Again, between Monday 14th March 2016 and today 18th March 2016 nothing happened and no party complained against Hon. Justice Shuaibu to the best of my knowledge. “What could have happened, and what could have warranted revocation of My Lord’s fiat if any, and how could My Lord have sent Barrister Casmir .C. Elele (3rd Defendant’s Counsel) to come and announce same to the Court and to us publicly in the circumstances.”]]>
