An Abuja based lawyer, Victor Giwa Esq., has said he had written to the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Justice Husseini Baba-Yusuf, that Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the court sitting in Apo Resettlement, is compromised and can’t do Justice in his case.
According to Giwa, he had written four different letters to the Chief Judge, asking for his case to be re-assigned to another judge.
According to him, with the conduct of Justice Onwuegbuzie the judge is on a mission to convict him.
In the letter dated January 14, 2025, the lawyer appealed to the CJ to consider his letters and re-assign his case to another judge.
He told the CJ that he had lost confidence in Justice Onwugbuuzie and can no longer get justice in his case before him
The lawyer said in the acknowledged copy of the letter in the CJ’s Chambers, also dated January 14, “With uttermost respect to your Lordship, recall that this is the 4th Complaint I have presented before your Lordship with regard to the recusal of Hon. Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie on the above matter.
“None of my letters has been responded to by your Lordship, that is, I have not received any response with respect to all my Complaints till date. My letters under reference are dated 12th November 2025, 17th November 2025 and 9th January 2026.
“My Lord, | also made three applications for recusal before Hon Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie in this case. My Lord Hon Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie, in one of the applications, in an already prepared Ruling, read before my application was moved, insisted to continue with the hearing of the matter.
“My Lord, my further Complaints against the Court of Hon Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie, upon which grounds I make this application are as follows:
That Hon. Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie has taken the matter personal against me. My Lord Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie threatens me in the open Court and refuses to hear me in most applications made in the open Court except I insist to be heard.
