It is important with regards to note that one of the ills facing and
confronting the judicial sector is the issue of judicial technicality, nobly

the judiciary, which is justice, is on the negative side. This been an issue of
consideration in the legal profession. It is no longer doubt that this particular
cankerworm has eaten deep into the judicial sector and great is its
implication on justice. Lawyers and(or) counsels are now using this
technique as a pretext to win cases by all means always regarding the gain
not considering what it may cost(justice).
This article poses a question, through its topic, to the current state of judicial
technicality in the judiciary, it’s influence so far in the judicial sector and its
effects. And in entirety, it tends to reveal the negative impact of judicial
technicality not only in the judicial sector but also in the circular world and
