The judiciary in Kogi State yesterday approached the State High Court sitting in Koton-Karfe seeking nullification of the April 2 resolution of the House of Assembly recommending the removal of the Chief Judge, Justice Nasir Ajanah.
The motion was filed by Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) leading 11 other lawyers, including five Senior Advocates of Nigeria on behalf of the claimants/applicants, Justice Ajanah and the Chief Registrar of the state High Court, Alhaji Yahaya Adamu.

Joined in the motion were the assembly, Speaker Bello Hassan Abdullahi, the chairman of the ad hoc committee, Governor Yahaya Bello and the Attorney-General the state.
