The Speaker however expressed gratitude to the state governor, Mr Ifeanyi Okowa and the Chief Judge, Justice Marshall Umukoro for making the establishment of the magistrates’court in the area possible, adding that” before now, Osubi Community and its environs have been under the Orerokpe, and residents of Osubi Community never had easy access to Justice rather than to travel to Orerokpe”
