The judge had fixed 15th and 23rd respectively for judgment on the suits after parties argued and adopted their written addresses in the matters.

Today FM’s Uchendu Ejiowhor’s reports that Justice Minakiri summoned the parties today, and informed them of her resolve to send back the case files to the registrar of the court following a petition and series of calls since received after the last adjournment.
