The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad, has invited six-state Chief Judges in relation to the spate of conflicting orders emanating from their courts.
The CJN invited them to a meeting over the issuance of conflicting orders on the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) chairmanship tussle in the last one month.
Mohammad, who is also the Chairman of the National Judicial Council NJC issued the invitation on Monday.
The invited Chief Judges are those of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross River, Anambra, Jigawa and Imo.
The invitation read in part: “My attention has been drawn to media reports of some courts of coordinate jurisdiction granting conflicting ex-parte orders on the same subject matter.
“It has become expedient for me to invite you for a detailed briefing on the development.
“This is even more compelling having regard to earlier NJC warning to judicial officers on the need to be circumspect in granting ex-parte applications.”
