Senate charges Federal and State Govts with the provision of adequate security for Judges and Courts

Following the attacks on Courts by hoodlums, the Senate has asked the Federal and State Governments to ensure adequate security measures around Judges and Courts in the country as part of moves to provide adequate safety for them from spontaneous or premeditated attacks.

Senator Opeyemi Bamidele of APC Ekiti Central, in a statement in Abuja, on Tuesday, noted the recent attack and vandalisation of the Court of Appeal archive office in the Lagos Division, as well as the Lagos State High Court Complex, located at Igbosere, which was set ablaze by hoodlums. “This action is highly condemnable and a clarion call for the provision of adequate security mechanisms, for the safety of Judges and the Courts, generally. As such attacks, either spontaneous or premeditated are more or less potential assaults on Judges and Justices which must be nipped in the bud," he said.
