The former chief judge of the Federal Capital Territory, Ishaq Bello, has admonished newly appointed judges and Kadis in Kaduna to discharge their duties responsibly.

Mr Bello gave the advice on Sunday in Kaduna during a reception in honour of Justice Buhari Balarabe, one of the newly appointed high court judges in the state.

According to him, they should shun corruption and promptly attend to cases.

“You should not keep matters unattended because that goes to impinge the credibility of the system, institution and your personal integrity,” he added.

Mr Bello noted that as new judges, they are vulnerable and should be conscious of learning the dos and don’ts of the job, adding that they should be courageous and firm and listen to experienced judges and seek advice.

In his goodwill message, the Kaduna chief judge, Mu’azu Aliyu, charged the new judges to imbibe patience.
