The Civil Society Consortium on Judicial Accountability, CSCJA, has demanded the immediate resignation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, over alleged abuse of office and favouritism in the discharge of his duties.

The group, which claimed that its members are lawyers of public interest, expressed anger with the CJN over the appointment of his biological children as judicial officers in the recent appointments.

'The Consortium emphasized that the legal system must uphold the highest ethical standards to ensure that all citizens receive fair and equitable treatment under the law. Nepotism in judicial appointments not only violates principles but also threatens to weaken the rule of law in Nigeria', Obono said.
