ACTING CJN SWEARS IN 250 TRIBUNAL MEMBERS FOR GENERAL ELECTIONS
The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim
Tanko Mohammed, has sworn in 250 members of the general election tribunals.
At the swearing-in ceremony which took place
in Abuja on Saturday, the acting CJN urged the members of the election
tribunals to discharge their duties with integrity, as well as the fear of God.
The development comes barely 24 hours after
President Muhammadu Buhari suspended Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief
Justice of Nigeria and swore-in Mohammed as acting CJN.
According to the president, the suspension
was based on the request of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, pending the
completion of Onnoghen’s trial.
Onnoghen is being tried over allegations
of failing to declare his assets.
