Earlier today the Executive Chairman of Adavi Local Government, Hon. Joseph Omuya Salami received the Chief Judge of Kogi State and other dignitaries at the Commissioning of Senior Magistrate Court at Adavi-Eba in Adavi Local Government area of Kogi State as the Host.
Hon. Joseph while making His speech, ” It’s a delight for me to see this commissioning of Senior Magistrate Court in Adavi-Eba happening today in my time as the Executive Chairman of Adavi Local Government.
It is also a period of joy for the people of Adavi-Eba community too knowing fully well that by the establishment of this court, laws will be better managed as the truth of matters will be easily found out and the guilty punished or sanctioned by imposition of fines and imprisonment for a specific period as the Magistrate may deem appropriate.
This punishment or sanction system will impliedly help serve as deterrent to others and will discourage the already convicted from committing another crime when freed. Thereby, bring about drastic reduction in the rate of crime and secure high adherence or obedience to law and other in the human society.

Finally, I want to seize this opportunity to once again, appreciate His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello and his governing team for making it a priority to safe guard lives and properties, discourage acts of criminality in the State, constantly empowering Kogi youths to make them less prone to committing crime, sustainable empowerment for our women and welfare provisions for the aged since he assumed office” He concluded.
