Nigerians React To Onnoghen’s Suspension And Swearing-In Of New Acting CJN
President Buhari
Nigerians have expressed shock following President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Some have argued that he doesn’t have the power since the judiciary is an arm of government on its own.
Onnoghen was suspended on Friday by Buhari on the recommendation of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and an acting CJN sworn-in in the person of Mr. Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed.
They are dissecting the role of the National Judicial Council as well as the National Assembly in such decision.
