The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Afam Osigwe (SAN), has faulted the Federal High Court for entertaining a suit relating to the ongoing local government crisis in Osun State, insisting that the state high court should have handled the matter.
Papers News reports that Osigwe made his position known during a telephone conversation with Punch on Sunday, stating that the crisis in Osun could be traced to legal missteps taken by the Federal High Court in deciding matters beyond its jurisdiction.
The NBA President noted that while he had not thoroughly reviewed the judgments, it was improper for a suit involving local government administration to be filed before a federal court.
