The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, and Chairman National Judicial Council, Justice Tanko Mohammad has demanded the records of proceedings in all the suits from which conflicting ex parte orders emanated.
The Chief Judges of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross Rivers, Anambra, Jigawa, and Imo States are to be quizzed on the controversial conflicting orders delivered in their various States on Monday, September 6, 2021.
Apart from the chief judges listed above, the Delta State High Court Chief Judge, Justice Marshal Umukoro, has also been invited to join the other six chief judges to meet with the Chief Justice of Nigeria on Monday.
The unprecedented move is to reset the anti-corruption efforts of the CJN’s leadership and entrench a new culture of accountability in the judicial system.
Justice Mohammad is also likely to meet with the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association in the course of the week, over the matter.
