A retiring Supreme Court Justice, Musa Dattijo Muhammad, has accused the Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, of abusing the powers of his office.
“As presently structured, the CJN is Chairman of the NJC, which oversees both the appointment and discipline of judges, he is equally Chair of the Federal Judicial Service Commission , the National Judicial Institute , the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee that appoints Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
He said that with his retirement, the North Central zone, which he represented, would no longer have a Justice on the Supreme Court bench. “As it stands, only four geo-political regions- the South-West, South-South, North-West and North-East are represented in the Supreme Court. “It is evident that the decision not to fill the vacancies in the court is deliberate. It is all about the absolute powers vested in the office of the CJN and the responsible exercise of same.”
