The Federal High Court has set up a Special Task Force of Judges to swiftly hear and determine all pre-election cases before it.

This was disclosed in a circular issued by the Chief Judge of the Court, Honourable Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, issued on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to the circular, the task force became necessary to designate a team of Judges following the large volume of pre-election suits that have flooded the court.

โ€œJudges who are members of the Task Force will suspend all regular cases in their respective courts due to the urgency of the electoral cases, which are time-bound,โ€ the circular signed by the Assistant Director of Information of the Court, read.

โ€œIn view of the large volume of Pre-Election cases filed so far; with the imminent attendant risk of lapsing, it has become necessary to constitute a Task Force to speedily dispose of the matters, particularly in those Judicial Divisions with a glut of them.โ€

The circular added that judges will have four weeks within which to dispose of the pre-election cases.
