President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen., Channels Tv is reporting.
According to the television station, Mr. Buhari has also appointed Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed as the acting CJN following the suspension of Onnoghen.
The suspension, according to the president, is based on the request of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, pending the completion of Onnoghen’s trial.
Justice Tanko Mohammed who hails from Bauchi State is the most senior justice of the Supreme Court.
Justice Onnoghen is being tried over allegations of failing to declare his assets.
At the last seating on Tuesday, the Federal Government had applied for him (the CJN) to step aside.
The Counsel to the government, Mr Aliu Umar, had informed the tribunal that the application asking him to step aside was not aimed at removing him as the CJN and Chairman of the National Judicial Council (NJC).
He explained that the application was filed to excuse the judge from the duties of a CJN to enable him defend himself before the tribunal.
