It will be recalled Governor Bello had earlier appointed Justice Olusuyi in acting capacity five days ago to occupy the position left vacant by the death of Justice Nasir Ajanah on June 29.

Meanwhile, in a similar development, Governor Bello has also approved the appointment of Bayo Olowosegun as the acting President of the state’s Customary Court of Appeal.

Mr Olowosegun’s appointment comes after the death of Shaibu Atadoga who occupied the office until his demise on June 22, 2020.
