Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday refused to recuse herself from hearing a suit seeking to stop fund allocation to local governments in Rivers State.
The judge who had earlier delivered four rulings against some of the defendants in the suit denied being biased against any of the parties.
The Rivers State House of Assembly and its factional Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, had instituted the suit asking for withholding of funds meant for local governments in the state.
The suit was filed on their behalf by Joseph Daudu, SAN.
However, the Accountant General of Rivers State filed a motion on notice where he accused Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of bias against the state government and and all other defendants in the suit.
Represented by Tuturu Edem, SAN, the Accountant General faulted the manner the judge had been conducting the proceedings, describing it as strange and unbelievable.
The position of the Accountant General was adopted by the CBN and all other defendants.
However, in her ruling, the judge said she would not recuse herself, adding that she was not biased as alleged.
The judge also refused to decline jurisdiction and a request to allow the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt take over the proceedings.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the territorial jurisdiction of the Federal High Court was one across the country.
The judge also held that the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court has the discretion to assign any case to a judge of his choice.
She thereafter ordered that hearing in the substantive matter and the preliminary objections should continue.

The traditional head of Kofare Wauru Jabbe in Yola South Local Government Area, Adamawa State, the Mai Jimilla, Bashiru Ahmadu, has commenced a regime of night patrols with youths and local security guards around his community.
The patrols are meant to deter bandits, kidnappers and armed robbers who have recently been troubling the community.
The Kofare Wauro Jabbe traditional ruler spearheads the community-led night patrols to secure the community with the participation of security personnel, residents, and youths.
“His involvement has united the entire community, setting an example of leadership and dedication,” a resident of the community, Gansi Gabriel said, adding that under the royal father’s guidance, local residents, security personnel, and youths have banded together to protect their homes from the threats of criminals.
Speaking personally on the initiative, the Mai Jamila said his direct participation in the night patrol has inspired volunteers to join and foster a spirit of resilience among the residents.
He thanked Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for his support; as well as the Lamido of Adamawa, Dr Muhammad Barkindo Aliyu Mustafa, the Hakimi of Yola Alhaji Zubairu Adamu Mustafa, and the Divisional Police Officer of Kofare for their cooperation and mentorship.
He said their encouragement had greatly strengthened the community’s security efforts.
DAILY POST gathered Monday that under Mai Jimilla’s leadership of the community-led security efforts, local security personnel provide essential expertise while residents and youths contribute their knowledge of the area to move against criminal elements.
The involvement of the town’s youths has been noted to be particularly crucial, as their energy and familiarity with the neighbourhood allows them to be effective in monitoring the community.
Armed with basic communication devices and lighting tools, the patrol teams, including Mai Jimilla himself, move through critical areas of the town, and the community.
