Daughter of justice Mary and former governor of Rivers state, Peter Odili, Njideka Iheme has just been sworn in as a judge of the Federal high court of Nigeria.

The swearing event took place yesterday, November 23 at the Federal Capital Territory High Court. The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad swore her in with 20 others as judges of the federal high court of Nigeria.

It has been reported that Justice Njideka is married to Uzoma Nwosu Iheme, the son of Court of Appeals Judge, Justice Chioma Nwosu Iheme.

Recall that two weeks ago justice Mary Odili was attacked in her Abuja home by unknown uniformed police men. Although some arrests have been made concerning the attempt on the life of the justice, no tangible thing has since been done about the break in.
