For issuing conflicting court orders in their various states in the last one month, six Chief Judges in the country have been summoned to appear before the National Judicial Council, NJC.

Justice Mohammed Who is the Chairman of the National Judicial Council, NJC issued the summons to the Chief Judges in Abuja on Monday, August 30.

The summons indicated that the affected Chief Judges are to appear before the NJC to explain what warranted the issuance of conflicting orders by courts of coordinate jurisdiction.

The summoned Chief Judges are those of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross River, Anambra, Jigawa and Imo states.

The CJN complained bitterly about the huge embarrassment caused by Nigeria’s judiciary by the actions of those who issued conflicting orders upon ex-parte applications by some political parties.
