The Court of Appeal, Owerri Division, has announced a temporary closure due to security concerns.

From Monday, October 28th, to Friday, November 1st, 2024, the court will be closed to lawyers and litigants.

This decision comes despite previously issued hearing notices for the same period, which are now cancelled.

A press release signed by the Deputy Chief Registrar informed lawyers and journalists of this sudden change. The notice cited security concerns as the compelling reason for postponing this week's sittings.

“Despite the fact that we have issued a HEARING Notice against 28th of October to 1st November, we are compelled by some security concerns to postpone the sitting this week. All Hearing Notices issued stand to be cancelled,” it said.

“We issued this information ahead of time to save your time, energy and money. We are sorry for any inconveniences this might have caused you.”

However, details of the security concerns remain unclear, as the court's announcement did not provide further information.

You won't hear that loudmouth and meddlesome interloper Ugochinyere comment on this. The noisemaker is always talking about the issues in Rivers State but his own state Imo is on fire.

Orlu and Orsu in Owerri alongside bordering communities in Anambra have since been depopulated with most of the indigenes and residents fleeing to Owerri or out of the SE region entirely.

Marauding gangs composed of exconvicts, convicts, thugs , cultists and prison escapees have taken over the adjourning forests in the region and have imposed heavy taxes and levies on residents in these areas. Some are taxed 200k monthly or their village homes get burnt to the ground. Women and girls (even underaged ones) are abducted, raped and impregnated by these criminals in their forest dens. Anyone thinking of doing burial or marriage ceremony most cough out huge sums or the venue is raided and guests and celebrants are kidnapped. In Orlu, the criminals have set up IEDs around the perimeter of villages which have gone off killing and maiming some residents. Young men are forced to the criminal gangs and initiated in an occultic blood oath ceremony involving the consuming of human flesh. Many of the chiefs and elders have been killed in the most gruesome manner after undergoing sadistic tortures and their heads servered and placed in the centre of the town/village by the criminals. Anyone suspected of being an informant awaits such fate and several have been murdered in such manner. A security report estimates the strength of these gangs ranging up to 5,000 scattered in camps in the forests.

But alas, it's ok for they are fighting Nigeria for Biafra.

Spit.

Why is it only the SE zonal Appeal Court located in Owerri that is shutting down ?

And why blame Tinubu ? Have you forgotten Hope and Buhari or is Tinubu now the reason you have criminals running havoc in the name of Biafra in your yeast ?

They brought a great evil in Igboland in the name of Biafra and some of them are asking for Kanu's release. May Kanu die and perish like a rat. Hopefully, we will have opportunity to show him what pain he has brought to Igboland and how he diminished Igbo people throughout Nigeria.

The situation in Orlu and Orsu is so terrible that most of its inhabitants have fled their homes to Owerri and out of the SE.

If Ibos can be so heartless and barbaric to each other in the name of fighting for biafra, now imagine what the minority people in the coastal provinces of the defunct Eastern Nigeria went through during Biafra occupation?

There was nothing like Biafra occupation in Eastern region. It was indeed the Federal forces that committed the most atrocity in Niger delta region and in Igbo hinterland. That issue is not important at this time. The war was fought by professional soldiers who were trained to protect lives and defend their people.
This very Biafra issue led by Kanu and Ekpa are being run by terrorists, homosexuals, cultists, cannibals and hardened criminals. They're completely anti-igbo.

Very shameful. Federal Government of Nigeria under Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot even protect or guaranty security for Federal institution like Court of Appeal of Nigeria in the capital of a State in Nigeria. See how useless the security architecture of Nigeria is?
It shows that the Federal Government is very weak and very soon the insurgents in the East -IPOB and co may overrun the Federal Government and take over government in the East if care is not taken.

Their so-called leaders and elders that are all echoing this call for Kanu's release are pure cowards who think if they the bandwagon calling for Kanu's release they won't be targeted by the criminal gangs in IPOB.


They are also calling for Kanu's release because they feel he can stop the madness but unknown to them all, jungle don mature and what you have here are the most hardened criminals whom they empowered under Biafra agitation that are not ready to stop their criminal ways.

Las las, they will beg Tinubu to bomb those forest enclaves..

I even like how the military has washed it's hands from the whole thing only going after the gangs when they come out of their forests. The security guys will be sick and tired of being accused of wrongful killings and arrests when they go after these criminals. So now they have left it to them to sort it out as long as the criminals no their boundaries and attack any security operative.

They will eventually all go to Abuja and beg Tinubu to send the army to flush the monsters they created out of their land.

God bless u

One thing I like about the north is that they ain't blaming anyone but u see Igbos, they will never take responsibility for their actions

They will always look for someone to blame, if it's not Asari dokubo, it's DSS or Fulani or tinubu or lord lugard or anybody

Actually, the way we see it, is that the SE is getting more and more restive by the day and it's all due to you guys ing and making excuses for these criminals in the name of Biafra or out of pure cowardice to be seen or heard condemning the senseless criminality that has seized hold of your region.

There are several s by minority authors detailing how your biafran soldiers and civilians alike committed the most barbaric and savage war crimes on the minority people in their own land.

There is a reason for abandoned properties.
