Anambra Gets Three New Judicial Divisions

Three new judicial divisions have been created in
Anambra state. The new divisions are Anaocha, Ogbaru and
Orumba-South judicial divisions.

The additional judicial divisions were created through an Order
issued by the Chief Judge of Anambra State, Hon. Justice Peter
Umeadi, dated 23rd April, 2018, entitled- ‘Anambra State High Court
(Judicial Division) Order 2018’.

A Public Notice signed by the State Chief Judge indicates that
the High Court in Anaocha would be sitting at Neni, as Ogbaru
division sits at Atani, while the High court division at
Orumba-South would sit at Umunze and Umuchukwu(Nkerehi) towns.

With these additional three judicial divisions, Anambra State
now has a total of ten judicial divisions.

Speaking with newsmen on this development, the Acting Chief
Registrar, Mr Nnamdi Mbanefo said the essence of creating the new
divisions was to bring justice closer to the people of the
area.

Mr Mbanefo further explained that this Order supercedes all
judicial notices or Orders previously made in respect of judicial
divisions of the High Court of Anambra State.
