Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
The police have early Monday sealed off the
office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who
was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari, last Friday, sources at the
Supreme Court have informed The PUNCH.
In a move that appeared
to stop any possibility of Onnoghen to accessing the office, policemen
were said to have sealed the office and ejected all administrative staff
in the axis of the CJN office asearly as 7am on Monday.
One of
the sources said, “The police have sealed the office of the CJN.
Officers and men of the Force went to the administrative staff offices
at about 7am and ordered clerical and other staff who were already at
their desks to leave after which they locked up everywhere.”
This
came as the National Judicial Council has fixed Tuesday for an
emergency meeting to deliberate on the sudden suspension of Onnoghen and
swearing in of Justice Tanko Muhammad as the Acting CJN by President
Buhari.
Details soon…
