The swearing-in of Justice Onochie Manasseh Anyachebelu as new Chief Judge of Anambra State by the Governor of the state, His Excellency Chief Willie Obiano, took place on the 4th of September, 2019 at the Executive Chambers of the Government House Awka, Anambra State.

This followed after his predecessor, Justice Ijem Onwuamaegbu retired last week after successful service.

While performing the ceremony at the Executive Chambers of the Government House Awka, the Governor charged the new Chief Judge to be dutiful and impartial in the discharge of his duties.

The Governor asked him to pay particular attention to court processes, as well as ensure prompt dispensation of justice to reduce the menace of awaiting trial syndrome in the prisons. Lamenting that awaiting trial inmates were more than convicted inmates in the prison cells in the state, the Governor further charged the new Chief Judge, Anyachebelu to initiate court reforms that would make Anambra courts world-class, amongst other numerous responsibilities placed on him.
