Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

A 46-year-old businessman, Mr Tochi Michael, has dragged Justice Tanko Muhammad, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, before a Federal Capital Territory High Court over alleged age falsification.

reports that in the originating summons with suit No. FCT/HC/BW/CV/79/2019, filed before the court in April, the petitioner alleged that the CJN deliberately falsified his date of birth.

The petitioner in the originating summons is praying the court to determine whether such act by the acting CJN does not constitute a criminal act of perjury, falsification and forgery. The petitioner also prayed the court to determine whether Justice Mohammad had not breached the Code of Conduct for judicial officers and consequently brought the image of the Nigerian judiciary to disrepute and odium.

He also prayed for an order directing the Inspector-General of Police to prosecute the defendant for the offence of perjury and an any other order which the court may deem fit.

This grandfather maybe him don lie say home dey 40 years .. APC appointees full of deceits.

If anyone of you talk again, I will tell Baba to send EFCC to your house.

Some Nigerians are lazy, all they do is to read the headline only! The plaintiff has abandoned the case, the plaintiff just want to make the news and the court must award heavy cost against him for wasting the court useful time.

Self proclaimed integrity government

Continue to expose yourselves - Justice and Truth must reign in this Country

As usual give it two days and nothing would be heard

Buhari will shield him

Pepsi and popcorn

Funny people

See wailing!

Everyone in the South will be taken to court for age falsification so is the so call under 17 and 23 soccer players

Problem no dey finish for Naija🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Acting CJN is a 'friend of the administration'. Nothing will happen.

What is he still doing in office at this age? All is for evil agenda they have against this nation, impunity everywhere in this government

Ahhhh e don dey happen

Lol. Enu baba gbe. Baba needs money.

There's nothing real about anyone who serves in this administration. As usual nothing will happen they will close their ears to this mess

Let's wait to hear what fkeyamo LiarMohammed and OfficialAPCNg will have to say to this.

Okay

When will the shananigan in the judiciary end?

Funny country.... 9ja Una no go kill me.. Aswear... hahahaha..... Let's see how buhari and Co will react to this.....

When APC is concerned,the man is covered jor

The wailers just got to know?

Una no go kill me for this country....

Odi egwu let's watch and see naa

We are waiting to see whether the President and the NJC will be swift in handling this issue as they did with Onnoghen.

Nigeria

Integrity community...how market? This is supposedly the CJN of our nation...

Waiting to see Buhari and APC (a.k.a. swift corruption fighters) in action.

AND PERJURY AGAINST HIM. OR WAS ONNOGHEN SUSPENDED BY BUHARI, BECAUSE OF HIS TRIBE AND RELIGION?.

THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN LOGICAL OUTCOMES, BELIEVE IN PLAIN SIGHT FACTS, WHEREAS, THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN MAGICAL OUTCOMES, ARE QUASI PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM AUDITORY AND VISUAL HALLUCINATION. TANKOMOHAMMEDMUSTSTEPDOWN pending the conclusion of the case of AGE falsification, FORGERY

Why do Nigerian new agencies keep using the word 'dragged' everything someone is sued? Must they always say a person was dragged to court? What kind of village writers do we have?

This is an unpardonable fraudulent offence that requires jail term.Therefore, if it is true this CJN has such an alteration on his date of birth ;He must be removed forthwith without delay,once 'prima facie' case is established and tried for the criminal act.-AAE

Funny country

Can you just imagine High public officers stealing money Declaring false assets forging certificates on a daily basis what exactly is going on in this country All bunch of fraud just last week it was leaked Audio about CBN governor with missing 500b. As usual they will deny it

This is an unpardonable fraudulent offence that requires jail term.Therefore, if it is true this CJN has such an alteration on his date of birth ;He most be removed forthwith without delay and tried for the criminal act.-AAE

THOSE WHO SAY, 'NO TO A FORGER OF DOCUMENT, FALSIFIER OF AGE, A MAN THAT COMMITTED PERJURY, and who was equally appointed against the mandatory constitutional provisions, is unfit to Lead the Nigeria's Temple of Justice, believe in LOGICAL OUTCOME.

THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT A MAN WHO FALSIFIED HIS AGE, COMMITTED FORGERY AND PERJURY, WHO WAS EQUALLY APPOINTED AGAINST THE MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, IS FIT AND PROPER TO LEAD THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE, are like yahoo yahoo boys, who believe in MAGICAL OUTCOME, WHEREAS

The victimizer is now the victim

Focus on Electricity generation. Give me the contract to generate electricity using renewable energy for Nigeria.

This is a wicked country full of wicked people looking for people to destroy. Even if he has to falsify age, 3 years age difference seem irrelevant and for what purpose.

Age considerations for specific opportunities is a big challenge in Nigeria where certificate and age are more important than ability and capability. Yesterday, it took me almost 30 minutes to fill a form for a job I know I am qualified. However, I filled my actual age.

It's well

A_S_Mailafiya This one again😂😂 Nobody is straight is this country, they just need to open ur profile....Imagine another CJN out..

And the circle never stops.

Chisoooos Nwa Joseph 😳😳😳

Onnoghen. Why does Buhari treat Southerners and Northern Christians as if they are not Nigerians?. Buhari's actions are more divisive than OBJ's wise advise.

The FG accused OBJ of making divisive comments, whereas it engages in divisive actions, and the question is, 'which is more dangerous, divisive comments or divisive actions?'. If Buhari is not a tribal and religious bigot, let him suspend Tanko Mohammed, the same way he suspendd

This APC will tell you that age is just a number...fkeyamo over to you. Nonsense people! APCjudge

And MBuhari wouldn't say anything on this . Here is a country.

Tanko Mohammed.

Everyone in this government seems to have fake documents. Wetin concern me sef ?, I’m on my way to Oluwole to bag my PhD from Harvard. When you see me, just congratulate me and call me Dr.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Justice Tanko Mohammed must step down, or be suspended just as Onnoghen was suspended, while the case against him is determined. The FG filed charges against Onnoghen within 3 days, why has it not filed charges against Tanko

Again? Let's see how this plays. With this coming up against our fight against corruption, we shall stand,open our eyes wider,remove all hindrances that might affect us to prevail over any truth shielding. Mr President, President Buhari over to you for action.

pretend as if it did not know about this very serious criminal allegations. I want to be proved wrong, let the government direct (IN) Justice Tanko Mohammed to step aside, while the case against him is determined.

This man, apart from making a negative history as the first unconstitutionally appointed CJN, he has been dragged to court for age falsification, which equally amounts to forgery. And having done that under oath, he has also committed perjury. But guess what?, this evil govt will

Nigeria is the face of satire.
