The Court of Appeal will
for the first time in more than three decades sit in Awka for a week beginning
from Monday.
Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice in Anambra, Anali Chude, confirmed this 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. (NAN
