The need to establish a branch of Court of Appeal in Ogun State for speedy dispensation of justice, has been advocated.

Ogun State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Oluwasina Ogungbade SAN, made the call in Abeokuta, while receiving Justices of the Court of Appeal, Ibadan, led by its President, Justice Monica Dongbam-Mensem, explaining that 80 percent of cases before the Court of Appeal in Ibadan originated from the state, which led the President and other Justices of the Court of Appeal to visit the state to clear all accumulated cases.

"The state would benefit immensely from the visit as this would foster easy access to justice, in line with the goal of the present administration", he said.

He disclosed that the Appeal Court Justices would be grouped into two sections and sit in the morning and afternoon between Tuesday, May 7, 2024 and Friday, May 11, 2024.
