Justice Aisha Bashir, Chief Judge of Nasarawa State has inaugurated four election petition tribunals to scrutinise the dispute that may arise in the Oct. 6, Local Government elections.

Inaugurating the tribunals on Wednesday in Lafia, Bashir urged the tribunals to leave above board and to resist any temptation in their best interest. She also inaugurated another tribunal to handle appeals that might arise from the hearing. The chief judge warned that any of them caught indulging in corruption to suppress justice would be disciplined.

“The judiciary in the state has recently sanctioned some senior staff for misconduct and will still not hesitate to sanction any of you caught in the acts.
