House Of Reps Blocks Plan To Appoint Children Of CJN, Others As Judges

The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a resolution compelling the Nigerian judiciary to stop its ongoing shortlisting of 12 judges for vacant positions in the FCT High Court.

Several legislators supported the motion to correct what they term as favouritism and constitutional breach in the judiciary where children of both the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kayode Ariwoola, and that of the FCT CJ are allegedly nominated for appointment as judges.
