The Court of Appeal
will for the first time in more than three decades sit in Awka for a week
beginning from Monday.
Mr Anali Chude,
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Anambra, confirmed this in an
interview with news reporters in Awka on Sunday.
He said the court
session would involve six judges who would hold two sittings simultaneously.
Anali said that the
Court of Appeal would hold hearings on 75 appeals from the state.
``Previously the Court
of Appeal in Enugu was handling all appeals.
``This could be a test
run for the court which could want to set up a permanent Court of Appeal in
Awka.
``We gathered that
about 80 per cent of the cases on appeal within the division emanate from
Anambra,’’ he said.
