Court Dismisses Suit Against Ubani's Judicial Appointment
The Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed a lawsuit aimed at blocking Chukwuemeka Tony Ubani, the director of enforcement at the FCT High Court, from being considered for appointment as a judge. Justice Inyang Ekwo ruled on Thursday after Akinlolu Kehinde, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) representing the defendants, informed the court that Bizplus Consulting Services Ltd, the plaintiff, had filed a notice of discontinuance.
The case, filed under suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/2174/2026, sought to restrain the FCT Judicial Service Committee and the National Judicial Council (NJC) from screening or recommending Ubani until the case was resolved. Bizplus alleged that Ubani mishandled an enforcement operation related to a judgment debt owed by the Benue State Government.
The dismissal of the suit permits the continuation of the selection process for Ubani's potential judicial appointment without any court-imposed restrictions.
