President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
In his place, he has sworn in Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed in an acting capacity.
He performed the ceremony at the presidential villa, Abuja on Friday.
Buhari said the suspension followed an order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) dated January 23, 2019.
Details later
impossible rubbish. buhari is a theif
this is the big reason buhari has to go back to daura
Good news
na wah oooo
Lawless government.
Why you haven’t said so when TETFUND BOSS was fired ?
I see anarchy looming……does he has d power?
Good news
Bako ke. Oya nah and we said we are one Nigeria.
Fake news
First good move since buhari became president since 2015?
Fake news
Without NJC’ s recommendations? It will not stand.
Lawlessness!
Good news
Progress Everest Egboro who’s njc
Desperate time need desperate moves, we were going to where we were because of where we want to next level
Sai Bubu #NextLevel #NextLevelNigeria
Daniel Tochi Promise it’s not fake.
I love this
We have been expecting this action for a long time, it’s welcome development
Ntoooh hahahahahaha PVC people how market? This is just a tip to what is to come, join Nnamdi Kanu now for the greatest revolution coming
Bako must be also check thoroughly to avoid another forgetful minded person or looter.
Gud move….nextlevel
I think this is the man that came to fulfill the prophecy of America, that the country might disintegrate before 2050
WHERE ARE THE HYPOCRITES AND STUPID WAILERS ?
? and ? very well
When DSS boss Daura was suspended democracy is at work but now democracy is at risk.
Abba A. Dauda Hardawa the president doesn’t possess such powers. He can only suspend or remove the CJN on the recommendation of the NJC. Just as he can only appoint a CJN on the recommendation of the NJC.
He is looking fir a war , and he will get it and there will be no country for him to govenor
That’s very good job
Abba A. Dauda Hardawa TETFUND was an appointee of Buhari but CJN is a constitutional creation
Buhari is truly a tyrant leader
Nigeria is in f it
A tyrant government
Kayode Aderemi because you are an animal you will die with bUhari tinubu
Nepotism at his peak
Beta, All actions is what we need. If u ve not benefited a dime from onnoghen don’t come here to cry.
President cannot suspend CJN
You will run to IDP when trouble start in Nigeria
Olubunmi Ola Joseph Abiri Buhari can fire anybody.
The man is PDP members in hiding.
I don’t want to believe this news is true,buhari has no power to suspend d cjn,only njc has such power.
Oya come and do your worst oooo he has reacted. Noise without action.
Umar Idris you people want war you will get it because there will be no Nigeria for him bUhari to rule
DSS director was an employee of presidency, go back to school and read government instead of history
Desperate time needs desperate actions
now APC with dependence of judiciary system. So draconian and disregard rule of law
Man that knows what the Power of GCFR… Use it well Mr President! We will enjoy it or surfer it together.
Jioke Nwa Jioke
IPOB ?????????
Fake news buhari do not has any right to suspend him,, naver
George Oluwaniyi you are a fool and foolish slave for that mater
That’s nice….
Since he chose not to follow the honourable way as asked by FG, your employer,then, the dishonourable way will have no option than to have its course
He has come out real, where is Lai?the squealer that said pmb is unawares.
The name should be Ibrahim Tanko not Bako
Finally he did his intention, 2019 elections in the hand of APC and buhari, this country needs serious prayer walahi
Lolxx,The ignorance President is at it again…he has no power to do sure..
The monster is fully out and this is the Abacha era
Revolution loading
Olubunmi Ola Joseph Abiri this is d only reason I say his supporters have cow brain like who dey support. It is only d national assembly dat can suspend d CJN.
I don’t think buhari has such power
@gbadeyanka……if truly he is PDP was that warrant to be suspended? APC is absolutely corrupt and wanted to hide from their shadow. Jega
John O. Mathias now that he has fired him he should remain office let see how possible
this man is gradually Islamizing this country o
very gud Baba how can accuse person swear in appointees
Onyema Chukwu Eke war for what? We need peace and progress biko!
Wale Tella Small Dss is under the executive
I never see where this country is going.. It’s a high time to stop this now
The Banana Republic.
Kedu ebe Nnagidi kanu no?
You are just too ignorant. You don’t know nothing.
@gbadeyanka……if truly he is PDP was that warrant to be suspended? APC is absolutely corrupt and wanted to hide from their shadow. GEJ knew Jega would work for his brother yet retained him instead and wasn’t fret just as APC is doing without creating any level of common and neutral playing ground.
Traitors, go back to school pls
This man is calling for anarchy..
Election rigged ! Goodbye ? Nigeria ??
Good, you have to be brave enough to take some decision without looking at opposition propaganda, is he innocent, when Jonathan remove justice salami and sanusi of CBN he did not look face and heaven did not fall
Nigeria is a theatre of drama anything can happen
He has every right to appoint whoever he want period.
sai baba…. Sai baba
Samson Tannon TongmanSamson, Victor Eze Obimba, Fortune Eshio Chaba
Where is anarchy from the Biafra people, mouth without action, you better face your business.
He has achieved all what he wanted by setting up investigation against Onoheghe. I think the case on non assets declaration against Onoheghe will now die a natural death.what a tribalistic president we have in Nigeria! I pity those Nigerians who can not use their sense.
Because supreme court judgment suspension of judgment on rivers state APC crisis
Fake news
Nice one
Against court order.

We warn many Nigerians about this evil sadist but they thought we where jooking now see What is happening in Nigeria today I can see many Nigerians happy about this news People mostly from south West very good but time will come everybody we cry blood
Alhaji Alhaji the CJN isn’t going nowhere as the president doesn’t have the powers to suspend him without a recommendation from the NJC.
This procedure was inserted in our constitution to guarantee the independence of the Judiciary and promote checks and balances among the 3 arms of government.
Mr self acclaimed integrity should follow due process in exercising his executive powers as doing otherwise is nothing but corruption. The almighty corruption fighter is taking his position of trust for personal aggrandizement and gain.
Is true brother Valentine Anyanwu
Now you’re talking, the commander in charge. Sai baba
Efiile aigbon ati aile ronu tondawonlaamu. Their eyes will soon open.
Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed
Yes
Lawless government. The CJN isn’t going nowhere as the president doesn’t have the powers to suspend him without a recommendation from the NJC.

Olubunmi Ola Joseph Abiri and Justice Salami of Court of Appeal was under presidency when Jonathan suspended him even when he knew it was unconstitutional to do so?
The change we’ll still vote for 16 Febuhari 2019.
If u don’t have voting in mind, u shouldn’t comment on issues like this, wait for Nnamdi Kanu or better still , stfu
Playing with looters, good for Onnoghe
2nd term of Buhari would be full of action and thriller. them go hear weeen. sebi dem dey call am baba go slow ni. till then
Exercise in futility. Without d sanction of NJC, this is nullity abinatio!
God bless u Mr President……..NEXTLEVEL JOOR
Progress Everest Egboro are u sure of that? Ask Justice Salami of appeal court
Exactly
I am too vexed to make a comment here
Wale Tella small, buhari doesn’t av the constitutional power to suspend the CJN
Hmm Mr no nonsense president, you’re really a speechless but an action man.
Next level forward ever jare!!
The more we clean the Judiciary and the police of corrupt elements in their system the better for Nigeria and Nigerians.
U r mad
The question Nigerian are asking is “did he did it or not”?
Lol Buhari my ass. He cant remove him
Fake news
Jioke Nwa Jioke
Shut up, Nnamdi Kanu has no freaking solution to anything. If you can’t shake your claim in Nigeria, whom do you think will give you Biafra, if you like don’t go and vote, let Buhari come back, you people will hear it.
Look at this Athiefku slave Victor Edos crying like a toddler under my comment. Cry baby cry
Lol, can I hear you say revolution with N. Kanu?, ur so call leader that ran away and abandoned his boys? OK, kontinue
@John……. with what buhari just did would make me give him a first class in corruption and disrespected president Nigeria as ever produced

Bako !!!!!!!!!! I laugh
This is corruption from the highest order, how can APC government acted in this manner ?
Very good
Hahahahah Nnamdi kanu said it, serve the zoo, at last you will come home with shame his words are come to pass again. I they lough them, one Nigeria my foot.
Jemiseye Wale Niels Orijemiseye buhari will go back to daura but after completing his 8 years
If you like go hug transformer
It’s a pity that you don’t know what due process is, I don’t blame idiocy like you for your senseless comments after all social media gave artrovarts of your type the opportunity
And a northern Muslim is now swear-in as the new CJN, Buhari really tried.
I will be one of those who will vote out APC in the next election.
Hausa/Fulani republic!
Really this man head no correct o! Who is Bako? Another fellow from his zone?…
Wale Tella Small read your constitution
Nice one baba, we have been expecting this for long. No one above the law… Judiciary is the biggest problem we have in this country…
Action speaks louder than the voice
A word for the Wise
Who recommeded the sack of Ayo Salami to Jonathan ?
The wait is over now
Excellent decision ?
PMB…Zero tolerance for corruption!
Olubunmi Ola Joseph Abiri who will start it.
Very good descision from the hausa Fulani cabals using imposter from Sudan acting as figure Head ????pls Where are those one Nigerianist campaigners.and Niger Delta this and that calling crucial meeting and all the nonsense gragra,is only were ipob and mazi nnamdi kanu is that they have mouth,pls Where is Edwin Clark,ben Bruce and Briggs and other’s spkabio have done it for you all,just as devil umahi wilsky obiano and Rochas okoroawusa and Chris ngige are doing on the other side of it, and you want me to participate in the fraudulent Constitution that produce fraudulent election or selection, pls we are not part of it again,bcs we can’t be five percent at the end,we are no longer interested in the jamboree of this contraption called Nigeria,let only hausa Fulani and some Yoruba slave to the caliphate, continue voting,we are boycotting the entire nonsense
How does ur comment relate to the subject matter?
Nnanna Aarons you are a great daft, did your heros in corruption and impunity are in power they removed CBN Governor and the president of court of Appeal it was due process then, you’re nothing but disgruntled element who deserves to be taught a lesson of python dance, rubbish.
Wale Tella,
Then you can return him if you feel agreive
Buhari has no respect for certain regions..
Olubunmi Ola Joseph Abiri you and your family and entire generations will end up in asylum
The game is over
Buhari can equally suspend Saraki and Dogara. When you use power outside or not known to the constitution it is called autocracy. The country is going down not the CJN.
Ayo Salami was sack no rant from anybody but when it is Biafra people many are crying.
Prince Endee Okorie maybe i speak in tongues ask the Holy Spirit to interpret it for you
Buhari can equally suspend Saraki and Dogara. When you use power outside or not known to the constitution it is called autocracy. The country is going down not the CJN.
Chai interrupt see grammar.
Prince Ajijala Adeolu Kenfills grammar corrected
This is laughable, Buhari is now Executive, legislature and judiciary fused into one. He who the gods wants to kill, the first make him mad. The prohecy of doom predicted for 2015 will soon take place this year. Nonesense!
Buhari wants to trigger war but he isn’t bigger than God. God had to harden Pharaoh’s heart but at last what happened, him and his armies were drowned in the red see. God wants to do that which made HIM God. Let buhari be doing what he likes.
Plan to rig 2019 election is now completed
Let’s see those so called lawyers and south south Governors defending corruption . heaven will not fall. Nigeria will keep moving .do you mean if the CJN kill someone ,he must be reported to NJC before prosecution? NJC is made up of 23 members,20 of them are appointment by the CJN.this provision must be reverse.
We will fight Buhari to a standstill as the Igbo fought Jonathan when he sack Justice Salami, a Yoruba man
Hmm! Goodluck Jonathan should come learn how to play the Nigerian’s politics.
Wale Tella Small have you asked yourself why he swore in a northerner? Why not another person from south
But CJN onnoghen accept that he couldn’t declare his dollar domiciliary account, so what is wrong about his suspension?
Abt time ,he should hv resigned honourably .he called fr this.well done pmb and his cabals
If you are aggrieved, oya warriors lets be on the street
Kayode Aderemi that is what they said in north east when the maltreated Mal Yusuf and latter Boko haram started
John O. Mathias Where were you when GEJ removed Justice Salami despite the supreme court and NJC told him to reinstated him back.
awogbemi…….. you’re so diminished and myopic in reasoning
Give us section of the constitution.
Mr Kayode Aderemi, i will advice u to mind the use of comment on social media, u have come off age, and i think u are not a better Nigerian than others.
