POST CREDITS

Why does our executive arm of Government treat magistrates who handle over 70% of all criminal and civil cases with so much disdain and disrespect? 

The magistrates are now generating income for the state government but are sidelined when it comes to their personal welfare.

THIS MUST STOP. THE SUPREME COURT HAS CRIED OUT AND WE LISTENED. LET US LISTEN TO OUR MAGISTRATES.

SANWO OLU GIVE MAGISTRATES IN LAGOS BEFITTING VEHICLES AND STOP VICTIMIZING OUR JUDICIARY.
