Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, the President of the Court of Appeal, has relocated the Kogi Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal from Lokoja to Abuja.

A statement by Mr David Umar Mike, Secretary of the Tribunal, said that its sittings would now be at the National Judicial Institute on Umar Yar’Adua Way.

The court urged litigants to take note of the venue change.

The statement was silent on the reason behind the relocation, but a top source at the tribunal said the step was necessitated by “security reasons.”

The source said that members of staff of the tribunal had been attacked on several occasions in Loloja.

“Just last Monday, tribunal officials were attacked on the way to the office.

“Armed men just pounced on the officials. They robbed them of everything. They took away all the documents that were in the car.

“Copies of petitions and personal belongings, official receipts, processes like subpoenas, and official stamps were all stolen.

“Generally, thugs are frustrating the job, and the lives of our officials are at stake, making it difficult to work there,” the source said.

NAN reports that the All Progressive Congress won the Nov. 11 off-cycle election, with the Social Democratic Party coming in second. (NAN)
