Senior lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba SAN has threatened to drag the National Assembly and the Attorney General of the Federation to court over the absence of Ecclesiastical/Christian Court.
In a letter addressed to the Senate President, dated 16 July, 2013, Agbakoba wrote, “I am a Christian and Catholic by faith. I have read the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and have observed that no provision is made for Christians to have their religious/spiritual affairs adjudicated by persons adequately learned in Ecclesiastical laws/ biblical jurisprudence.
Islamic and Customary practitioners are well recognized and accommodated in the Constitution by the establishment of the Customary and Islamic court systems in Sections 260, 265, 275 and 280 but no corresponding provision is made for Christians or Ecclesiastical Courts. Christians are forced to resort to Customary and High Courts which are manned by persons of little or no knowledge of Ecclesiastical law and jurisprudence.”
