By Gboyega Olunuga – April 20, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari, with the consent of the National Judicial Council, has extended Justice Tanko Muhammad’s tenure as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria by another three months.

Our reporter gathered that to avoid any breach, the NJC has conceded to President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for the extension of the acting CJN’s tenure at its meeting held between Wednesday and Thursday.

The council, which is also chaired by Muhammad in acting capacity, is yet to issue a statement announcing its decision.

Details soon
