Ogun CJ swears in four new magistrates – TheNigerialawyer

The Ogun State Chief Judge, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, on
Monday, swore in four new magistrates and charged them to promote
efficient administration of justice and avoid being influenced by
families or friends in the discharge of their duties.

The Chief Judge gave the charge at the swearing-in held at the
High Court Complex, Kobape Road, Abeokuta.

She said a research and statistics department had been set up to
provide stakeholders with a database for all cases, convictions and
easy identification of those with criminal records in the
state.

Mosunmola noted that efforts were on to establish a sex
offenders’ registry, where convicted offenders’ names and
conviction would be documented and circulated through the media to
the general public.

She said, “The judiciary, in conjunction with the Rule of Law
and Anti-Corruption body and the British Council, had inaugurated
the Justice Sector Reform team in the state, comprising the judges,
magistrates, legal practitioners and law officers from the Ministry
of Justice, among others.”
