Territory (FCT) High Court, by the FCT Judicial Service Commission
to the National Judicial Council.
According to the statement made available to “Nairalaw”
Mrs. Nnamani-Kuku is the wife of a person who has disobeyed the
orders of the FCT High Court and is currently a fugitive from
justice and have not being in litigation practice for about one
year until now.
The former Vice chairman and chairman of Enugu Branch also added
that there are many sound lawyers in Enugu that are capable for
this exhorted position, such persons should be given the

Here’s the press release,
“My attention has been drawn to a press release put out on
social media by Nigerians United in Diaspora Against Corruption
(NUIDAC) objecting to the recommendation of Mrs. Nnamani-Kuku as
judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, by the FCT
Judicial Service Commission to the National Judicial Council. The
reasons for NUIDAC’s objections are eloquently stated in their
statement, and include the following:
An absence of litigation practice by the proposed judge until
about one year ago.
That Mrs. Nnamani-Kuku is the wife of a person who has disobeyed
the orders of the FCT High Court and is currently a fugitive from
justice.
Furthermore, I have been made to understand that said Mrs.
Nnamani-Kuku is proposed to take a slot reserved for Enugu State in
the FCT High Court. Having practiced law in Enugu for 32 years,
although not from Enugu State, I am in a position to assert that
there are many fine lawyers from Enugu who have the capacity to add
value to justice delivery in Nigeria; and it would be beyond tragic
if the allegations by NUIDAC are proven to be true, and Mrs.
Nnamani-Kuku gets appointed a judge nonetheless. It is in this
light that the NJC are urged to investigate the objections of
NUIDAC with the dispassionate seriousness they deserve.”
