\n
\n
chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), seven days to respond a fresh petition
\nagainst him.In a statement on Wednesday, Soji Oye, spokesman of NJC, said the petition
\nwas sent to the council by the Action People\u2019s Party (APP).<\/p>\n

Oye said the council found the earlier petitions against Muhammad and
\nWalter Onnoghen, suspended CJN, \u201cworthy of further investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the council has constituted a five-member panel to probe the
\nallegations in the petitions against the duo.<\/p>\n

\naccepted the result of the preliminary assessment of the petitions against
\nHon. Mr. Justice W. S. N. Onnoghen, GCON and Hon. Mr. Justice I. T.
\nMuhammad, CFR that the petitions were worthy of further investigation and
\nshould not be terminated under Rule 17 of the Judicial Discipline
\nRegulations of the Council,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the council constituted a five-member Investigation
\nCommittee pursuant to Rule 20 (1) of the Judicial Discipline Regulations
\nunder the Chairmanship of Hon. Mr. Justice S. A. Akintan, CON, a retired
\nJustice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cA new petition against Hon. Mr. Justice I. T. Muhammad, CFR, by the
\nAction People\u2019s Party (APP) was referred to the Hon. Mr. Justice for his
\ncomments within an abridged 7-days.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil directed the investigation committee to work expeditiously,
\ndetermine all the petitions and responses and report to Council for a
\nfinal decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
