Justice Omotosho agreed with counsel to the defendants that the suit by the plaintiffs disclosed no reasonable cause of action. He said, “Section 19 (3) of the Federal High Court Act and other enabling provisions have empowered the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to act so. The Chief Judge acted in his judicial and administrative capacity and cannot be sued for his action. “Besides, the Chief Judge has not assigned the case file to another judge of the Federal High Court”, he held and dismissed the suit for being frivolous and an abuse of court process. The plaintiffs are therefore seeking an order remitting the substantive suit marked FHC/L/CS/2159/2022, to Justice A. L. Allogoa of the Lagos judicial division of the Federal High Court.
