The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has summoned some judges over conflicting rulings on political cases in Rivers State.
They are to be probed by a panel of the National Judicial Council, NJC. The CJN also summoned the chief judge of the federal high court for questioning today. The NJC panel, led by a former Court of Appeal justice and two heads of courts, has been tasked to submit a report this week. These summons follow formal complaints submitted to the council.
Also, the Chief Judge of Rivers State High Court is to appear before the NJC panel next week. Recall that during her Senate confirmation hearing on 25th September, Justice Kekere-Ekun emphasized her commitment to integrity and a zero-tolerance policy for corruption in the judiciary.
