Nigerian Judiciary

The Nigerian judiciary is the system of courts responsible for interpreting laws, ensuring justice, and resolving disputes in Nigeria. It includes various levels such as magistrate courts, high courts, courts of appeal, and the Supreme Court. Judges and magistrates preside over cases, applying the law to determine outcomes. The judiciary acts independently of the executive and legislative branches, playing a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens' rights. It addresses issues ranging from civil disagreements to criminal offenses and constitutional questions, serving as the guardian of justice in Nigeria.
