The National Judicial Council (NJC) has taken a decision on the allegations of misconduct brought against Walter Onnoghen, the suspended chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), and Tanko Muhammad, the acting CJN.

The council reached the decision today, after an emergency meeting of the body to examine the report of the five-man committee which was set up to investigate the petitions against the duo.

Soji Oye, the council’s Director of information, in a statement on Wednesday said its recommendation had been transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari.

NJC said it would be “inappropriate to publicise it before conveying it to Mr. President”.

“The National Judicial Council reconvened today in an Emergency Meeting to consider the Report of the Five-Man Committee constituted to investigate the allegations of misconduct made against Hon. Mr. Justice W. S. N. Onnoghen, GCON and Hon. Mr. Justice I. T. Muhammad CFR,”

“Council decided that the allegations relating to assets declaration that were levelled against Hon. Mr. Justice W. S. N. Onnoghen, GCON were subjudice and therefore abstained from considering them.

“Council reached a decision on the petitions written by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and others and conveyed its decision to President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.
