The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, (NJC), Justice Tanko Muhammad has summoned the Chief Judges of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross River, Anambra, Jigawa, and Imo States to an emergency meeting in Abuja.
This is part of efforts to check the recent wave of embarrassing and conflicting exparte orders coming from judges in their jurisdictions.
According to the letter of invitation dated 30th of August, 2021, the CJN summoned the head of the concerned courts to the emergency meeting to brief him on the incessant granting of the conflicting orders on suits instituted by different political parties before the various courts.
Spokesperson of the NJC, Soji Oye confirmed to newsmen that the letter emanated from the office of the CJN but declined comment on the specific day the meeting will come up.
