The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Mohammad, has summoned six Chief Judges in Nigeria over the conflicting court orders that emanated in their states in the last month.
Justice Mohammad who is the Chairman of the National Judicial Council, NJC, issued the summons to the Chief Judges in Abuja on Monday asking them to come and 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.
In the summon, the CJN complained bitterly about the huge embarrassment caused by Nigeria’s judiciary by the actions of those who issued the conflicting orders upon ex-parte applications by some political parties.
