Following confirmation of COVID-19 among his aides, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, has gone on self-isolation.
A statement by acting Information Officer of the FHC, Catherine Oby Nwandu, on Friday, said Justice Tsoho also ordered some key staff in his office to do the same, pending the results of the tests conducted on him, members of his immediate family and close aides.
According to the statement, “The Federal High Court recognises that health and safety are paramount in the sphere of justice delivery.
“The Court is thus following medical protocols and all precautionary measures for the COVID–19 prescribed by global and national health authorities.
“His lordship has further encouraged strict compliance with the precautionary medical protocols issued by national and international health authorities to curb the spread of COVID-19.”
The FHC chief judge enjoined staff of the court to go about their lawful duties while observing all protection protocols.
“The Chief Judge is deeply moved by the prayers and well wishes of colleagues, staff, extended family, and friends and appreciates them for keeping faith at this moment,” it added.
