ADC Demands Immediate Release of Justice Lifu’s Judgment, Alleges Denial of Access to Justice
The African Democratic Congress has demanded the immediate release of the certified true copy of a judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, alleging that the continued delay despite payment of the required fees amounts to a denial of access to justice. In a statement on Monday, the party claimed that Justice Lifu had announced in open court that copies of the judgment were ready, but applications submitted by its lawyers on November 5 and 6, 2026, remain unanswered despite carrying the court’s paid stamp. The ADC said the delay prevents affected parties from knowing the exact orders made and determining the appropriate legal steps to challenge the ruling.
