“The choice of Ka’kaan became necessary because he was the most senior judge in the state and his impeccable track record stood him out.”

He expressed confidence in his ability to deliver quality service to the state as exemplified in the cases he had handled both within and outside the state.

While responding, the new chief judge promised to abide by all the wordings of the oath he took, stressing that oaths are not mere rhetorics but a covenant with God and humanity.

”I will discharge my duties without fear, favour, affection or ill will. I will eschew corruption and not aid as well as abet it. I will abide by the oath strictly and not go against the constitution.

”This task is an onerous one, so I am soliciting for prayers from all of you to enable me succeed,” he stated.
