SQUIB DIARY
Monday 29th October 2007
The Squib is out. Cover story - “Shame! High Court Judge Fights Judicial Assistant.” Promises to be a best-seller. Was at the Lagos State Court Igbosere for an election petition matter.
Later came to the Ikeja High Court. Saw Squib selling like hot ‘akara.’
Tuesday 30th October 2007
Was at the Lagos High Court Igbosere. For a case. Did it and left. Must say that the toilets on the corridor to the Court of Appeal, are still in fine condition. Well maintained. The ladies in charge should be commended. Moving motions in that place is no pain at all. Pleasurable really.
Got to Ikeja High Court, to do some checks.
Wednesday 31st October 2007
Was briefly at the Ikeja High Court. However was around enough to see some “Task Force Men” filiming the various shops and stalls in compound ‘B’ of the Ikeja High Court, which truth to tell had become swamped with business centres, food canteens, liquor sellers etc.
Thursday 1st November 2007
Was at the Ikeja High Court. In the afternoon, saw bands of armed task force men, overturning various kiosks and stalls in compound ‘B’ of the Ikeja High Court.
The owners and operators of these make-shift constructions could only looked on helplessly.
Heard feeble protestations from the owners that they were no squatters. That they were put in their positions by certain government authorities after paying certain fees.
Noticed that the High Court was ‘dry’. Only few lawyers around. The Lagos State High Courts have turned into a ghost town. Hundreds, if not thousands of non-part heard cases still remain un-assigned to judges. How tragic! Even for freshly filed cases, it’s taking weeks before the RECORDS SECTION takes them to the Administrative Judge to assign them to various judges, even fundamental right actions. Tragically wonderful. Yet the NBA seems unperturbed. Alas!
Friday 2nd November 2007
Was at the Ikeja High Court. Saw that the vendors and kiosk owners temporarily displaced yesterday by KAI Task Force man had bounced back. Very much back in their different places, they were. Was informed of the plight of a barrister, Adebowale Adesina locked up by the police at Pedro Police Station. The lawyer’s offence? Police claimed he was obstructing the execution of a court order. Got there with two other Tigers, Dare Akande {leader} and Biyi. Met lawyer Adesina already released. Seems an interesting matter, though.
