A Nigerian Judge’s personal recollections of a little more than 10 years' service in the Court charged with oversight of the Federal Government and its agencies, international commercial activity and political adjudication.
The post-military democratic dispensation of the early 21st century has been accompanied by unprecedented tensions, strains and crises in the legal establishment. The direction of Nigerian democracy is at stake. The author was forced into retirement from the Court in 2013. He shares his experiences in that Court in this book and chronicles the manner of his ‘involuntary’ departure.
A revised edition of this book was published in January 2023 with a new chapter.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Charles E. Archibong was elevated to the bench of the Federal High Court of Nigeria in 2002-the primary superintending forum of Nigeria's federal system, with jurisdiction over the executive activity of the federal government and all its agencies.This book details matters that came before Archibong during his time as a Federal Judge. His characteristic approach to adjudication was a decided bent toward speedy conclusion of proceedings before him. These cases ranged from the abduction of a sitting state governor, the recall of the Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, a trial of activists of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), to pushing through trial a civil claim against federal authorities over publication of an air accident report, oil magnates and communication czars tangling with their creditors. The stories are told with the skill and pathos of an excellent writer.Things reach a climax when Justice Archibong collides with senior lawyers engaged on behalf of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to conduct a major criminal trial, and about the same time the Judge gets caught in the crossfire of feuding political bigwigs litigating for the control of party political structures. These conflicts will lead to the premature termination of his judicial career. Justice Archibongs experiences in the Nigerian Judiciary is an illustration of what happens when systems resist the changes that new voice bring. This item is printed on demand.
