Members of the National Interest Defenders and Lawyers in Defense of Democracy this morning stormed the National Secretariat of the Nigerian Bar Association protesting the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.
The protesters carried placards of various inscriptions, including, “Tanko Mohammed, stop parading yourself as CJN;” “NBA must act now by ordering lawyers to down tool;” “Amaechi, El-Rufai, Akpabio, Malami, APC: brains behind Onnoghen’s trial;” “NJC must reconvene now and expel Justice Tanko Mohammed,” among others.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari suspended Onnoghen and swore-in Justice Tanko Mohammed as replacement on Friday.
