The new judges, who had gone through the scrutiny of the National Judicial Council and found worthy for elevation, took the oath of office before Governor Uzodimma at the New Executive Chambers, Government, Owerri.
The High Court Judges are Uchenna Mary Njoku, Cletus Ndubuisi Akowundu, Mathew Chinedu Ijezie, Chukwumaeze Ojiugo Chibuogwu, Adaego Peace Nnosiri, Ononogbo Chidi Linus and Emeka Uzoma Orafu.
