NJC denies knowledge of list of justices for elevation to Supreme Court

The National Judicial Council (NJC), on Thursday, said it was not aware of the shortlist of 22 justices made by the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) for elevation to the bench of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

NJC Director of Information, Barrister Soji Oye, said that the nomination has not been brought to his knowledge.

The FJSC had reportedly sent a list of 22 justices from the Court of Appeal for consideration by the NJC for elevation to the apex court.
