Human Rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Femi Falana, has yesterday stated that the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court both lacks the jurisdiction to adjudicate on chieftaincy matters in Nigeria. Falana made this known through a statement he signed yesterday where he criticized both courts for separately granting themselves jurisdiction in such cases, describing the courts decisions “highly erroneous” and unjustifiable under sections 251 and 254(C) of the Constitution.
