Lawyer Victor Giwa Challenges Trial Judge's Bias in High Court Case
Human rights activist and lawyer Victor Giwa has motioned for the recusal of Justice Jude Onwuuegbuzi from a trial in the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja. Giwa accuses the judge of bias and unfairness, citing pre-arranged charges against him related to forgery.
The case involves co-defendants like Joe Agi and Awa Kalu, with allegations of manifest bias and lack of confidence in the court's ability to deliver justice. Giwa seeks a fair hearing and transfer of the case back to the Chief Judge of the FCT High Court.
