The National Judicial

extension of appointment of Justice Tanko Muhammad as Acting Chief Justice of
Nigeria for another three months.
The decision which is
contained in a statement, issued by Mr Soji Oye, Director, Information of NJC,
said the decision was taken on at the 88th Council Meeting.
“The NJC has since forwarded
its approval to the President”, Oye said.
NAN reports that on Jan.
25, Buhari suspended the then CJN, Walter Onnoghen, pending the completion of
his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
The President announced the
suspension at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday.
He said the action followed
the order of the CCT directing him to suspend Onnoghen, pending the completion
of his trial.

swore in Justice Mohammed as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.

period of ten years.
