The Court according to a report by the publisher of CrossRiverWatch, Agba Jalingo, the court has been abandoned for 25 years.
The abandoned court was allotted to Hon. Peter Odey to build a private house by the Governor, Sen. Ben Ayade through the Commissioner for Land, when he applied for land.

Agba Jalingo had commenced Operation Rescue And Repair Ogoja Magistrate Court 2.
Hon. Peter Odey swiftly responded by donating #250.000.00 for the repair of the abandoned Court.
