The Bauchi judiciary says it has trained 31 Shari’ah court judges to enhance justice service delivery. Tukur Saleh, chief registrar of the Bauchi Sharia Court of Appeal, said this in an interview on Wednesday in Bauchi.

He said the two-day capacity-building exercise was conducted in collaboration with Bauchi’s Judicial Service Commission.

The registrar said the exercise was designed to train the 31 newly appointed judges to strengthen their capacities.

Mr Saleh said the judges would be deployed to lower and upper Shari’ah courts across the state to ensure timely dispensation of Justice.

He said the state had about 130 judges in service, aimed at strengthening justice services in accordance with the provisions of Sharia Law.

“We have been training judges and inspectors in partnership with JSC. We held separate sessions for judges and inspectors this month. The Sharia division has also deployed inspectors to the six zonal offices across the three senatorial districts in the state,” he said.

Mr Saleh listed the offices to include Gamawa, Katagum, Bauchi, Toro, Ningi and Misau.

While reiterating commitment to timely dispensation of justice, Mr Saleh commended the commission for its support.
