The Edo State Government has set up mobile courts to try violators of the Edo State Dangerous Infectious Diseases Regulations 2020, signed into law by Governor Godwin Obaseki, to curb the spread of Corona-virus in the State.
A statement by the Chief Registrar, High Court of Justice, Edo State, Idemudia Aziegbemhin, said the State’s judiciary constituted the mobile courts to determine cases arising from violations of the provisions of the regulation.
To this end, five Chief Magistrates on Special Grade have been mandated to preside over the designated courts in Oredo, Ikpoba-Okha, and Egor Local Government Areas.
In addition, the most senior magistrate in other local governments in Edo South, Edo Central and Edo North are also constituted as Mobile Courts in their jurisdictions for that purpose.
