The National Judicial Council (NJC) is expected to release the name of two new justices of the Supreme Court tomorrow.
Following the retirement of Justice Afolabi Fabiyi and Justice Muntaka Coomassie, four justices of the appeal court have been interview to replace them.
The NJC hold its first quarterly plenary for this year on Wednesday and Thursday.
It was learnt on Monday that a major item on the NJC’s plenary would be consideration of the outcome of the interview conducted to fill two vacancies at the apex court bench.
According to reliable sources in the judiciary, four candidates, who are currently Justices of the Court of Appeal in various divisions, have already been interviewed for the available two slots.
It was learnt that Justices Ejembi Eko and Monica Dongban-Mensen were interviewed to choose a replacement for Justice John Fabiyi, who retired in November 2015.
Two other Justices of the Court of Appeal, Amina Augie and Garba Lawal, were also said to have been interviewed, in order to fill in the vacancy left behind by Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomasie, who retired on February 10.
Either Eko, who hails from Benue State, or Dongbam-Mesen from Plateau State will fill in the slot of the North Central geo-political zone on the bench which became vacant with the retirement of Justice Fabiyi, who hails from Kogi State in the same zone. Augie or Lawal will replace Muntaka-Coomasie who hails from Kaduna State.
After the NJC’s plenary, the name of one of the two candidates will be forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is vested with the powers to appoint.
The number of the Supreme Court Justices last week dropped from 16 to 15 with the retirement of Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomasie, who attained the mandatory retirement age of 70 on February 10.

Nice.

Consolation price.

End time promotion

Amazing decision.

APC about to fill Supreme Court with card carrying members.
Very soon the Supreme Court would lose credibility like other courts.

OP, where is your source. Or should I assume that you were a member of the panel that interviewed them? Moreover, your title is misleading. You know what I mean. You are in NL not a beer parlour.

a reward for a job well done for his master buari dullard.

Yes, I agree with you. In as much as it would be condemn-able if this truly happened as reported by the OP, it is also condemn-able for the OP to report without citing sources. Otherwise, anyone could report anything. And the OP, failed to connect the title with the content of the post. Who among those judges billed for promotion is the one that nullified the said election?

Oloshi ni op yi sha, ur heading said he's been promoted, while the content stated he's been interviewed for the post, along with 3 others o. Plus u even failed to state which of them self

For the avoidance of doubt,the promotion or appointment of Judges to the supreme court is done by the NJC.The executive does not have any direct power over such choices.

Where in your essay did you mention that the judge has been elevated to the supreme court as your title suggested?
