Lagos judiciary creates Eti-Osa, Yaba/Surulere, judicial divisions
The chief judge of Lagos State, Kazeem Alogba, has announced the creation of Eti-Osa and Yaba/Surulere as two additional judicial divisions.
Mr Alogba announced in a statement in Lagos on Friday by the state acting chief registrar, Tajudeen Elias.
He said the notice was brought pursuant to section 5 (1) of the High Court Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The chief judge said the Eti-Osa division would cover the Eti-Osa Local Government Area, Eti-Osa East Local Council Development and Iru/Victoria Island Local Government Development Area.
He added that the Yaba/Surulere division would cover the entire Lagos Mainland Development Area, Surulere Development Area and Yaba Local Government Council Development Area.
According to him, filing, adjudication of cases and other legal business in both divisions should begin from the date of the notice.
“All cases hitherto commenced and or being conducted at any other judicial division before the commencement of this notice shall continue to be dealt with in any such division unless the honourable chief judge otherwise directs in writing,’’ he said.
