The chief judge of Lagos State, Kazeem Alogba, has announced the creation of Eti-Osa and Yaba/Surulere as two additional judicial divisions.
Mr Alogba announced in a statement in Lagos on Friday by the state acting chief registrar, Tajudeen Elias.
He said the notice was brought pursuant to section 5 (1) of the High Court Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The chief judge said the Eti-Osa division would cover the Eti-Osa Local Government Area, Eti-Osa East Local Council Development and Iru/Victoria Island Local Government Development Area.
