CJN to quiz six Chief Judges Sept 6 over conflicting exparte orders

Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammed

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chairman National Judicial Council (NJC), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad will tomorrow September 6, 2021 quiz six Chief Judges over the conflicting court orders that emanated from their states.

Already, the CJN has demanded the records of proceedings in all the suits from which conflicting exparte orders emanated.

The Chief Judges to be quizzed on the controversial conflicting orders delivered in their various States are Chief Judges of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross Rivers, Anambra, Jigawa and the Imo States.

Besides the six Chief Judges, there are indications that the Chief Judge, Delta State High Court, has also been invited to join the others billed to meet with the Chief Justice of Nigeria on 6th September.

Our correspondent gathered that the unprecedented move is to reset the anti-corruption efforts of the CJN’s leadership and to entrench a new culture of accountability in the judicial system.

There are also indications that
Justice Muhammad will likely meet with the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in the course of the week, over the matter.

The Director of Information, National Judicial Council NJC Soji Oye confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Sunday.
