•Three years after, Ngwuta resumes Supreme Court sittingThe Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, yesterday assured Nigerians that the Supreme Court under his watch will never be subservient to any person in Nigeria or another arm of government.
The highlight of yesterday’s event was the inauguration of 38 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria , amongst whom are the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Dayo Apata; wife of a justice of the apex court, Adedoyin Rhodes-Vivour, and Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa.
“At the Supreme Court, like I have always said, we are totally independent in the way we conduct our affairs, especially judgments. We don’t pander to anybody’s whims and caprices. If there is any deity to be feared, it is Almighty God.The CJN, however, admitted that the judiciary cannot enjoy or know true independence if it has to beg for funds to run its office, as the current situation portrays.
The CJN also used the occasion to stress the need for all to adhere to the tenets of the rule of law at all times to avoid a situation of anarchy and also preserve the nation’s democracy. While stressing that such acts are antithetical to the rule of law in a democratic environment, Muhammad said the Supreme Court under his watch would, however, not tolerate it.
He, however, suggested that in doing so, the judiciary must deploy the self-regulating processes within the NJC and in line with constitutional provisions.According to the NBA president, the process “showed a brazen external intrusion and interference in the disciplinary processes of the judiciary in a manner that undermine its independence and by extension, the rule of law.
He said, in the last legal year the administration of justice received boosts in the areas of Anti-Corruption Policy Drive .Meanwhile, three years after he was suspended from sitting, Justice Ngwuta, who faced trial for corruption, has resumed his official duties.
Stage setting for the Atiku appeal.
🤔...not what atiku heard/was told by his handlers!
Really hope this can happen now.
Tell the FG to release those whom the courts have made ruling on especially Dasuki, Sowore and co. This your statement is not aligning with cases that are presently ignored. Make emphatic statements to these cases and not future cases.
We need to witness it by sacking buhari and grant Atiku his mandate
Close you mouth.
Story story,and story. I love what is happening to Osinbanjo,they will learn from history. The best Yoruba affiliation should come fromSouth East.
Good; seeing is believing.
Story for the gods
Okay, that's nice to know... But the people manning the supreme court are already subservient to the executive arm of our govt.
They are already.
Says a man that was brought by illegality 😒😒😒
Face of a liar

Just remember you were appointed by someone and may not have that power bigger than the person who appointed you
