IThe Acting Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed, on Saturday 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, Channels Tv reports.
