Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi
Okowa has charged the judiciary to ensure the speedy dispensation of kidnap
cases, saying that the judiciary remains the last citadel of hope for the
common man.
Okowa, who stated this yesterday when
he received retiring Justice Ifeoma Okogwu of the state judiciary,
restated his administration’s commitment to the independence of the
judiciary in the state.
Calling for the speedy trial of
kidnap cases to serve as deterrent to criminally minded individuals, he said
that the state’s law on kidnapping would be implemented to the letter as
special courts have been established to ensure quick dispensation of kidnap
cases.
Commending Justice Okogwu for her
meritorious service to the state, Okowa appreciated the judiciary in the state
for its boldness, support and understanding.
Inaugurating Dennis Agbaga as a
member the Judiciary Service Commission, JSC, the governor urged the judiciary
to be dispassionate in the dispensation of justice.
Earlier, in their separate responses,
Justice Okogwu and Agbaga thanked Governor Okowa for the opportunity given to
them to serve the state in their different capacities.
