Ibrahim Mohammed, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria has been dragged to court over alleged perjury.

Mr Mohammed who assumed office in acting capacity late last year is accused of falsifying his date of birth by a business man named Tochi Micheal.

Mr Michael, 46, filed his petition at a Federal High Court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) last month. The suit number is FCT/HC/BW/CV/79/2019.

This is coming months after Walter Onnoghen, a former Chief Justice was ousted on allegations of failing to declare some assets traced to him.

Mohammed who succeeded Mr Onnoghen in office is accused of doctoring his date of birth from December 31, 1950, as stated in all his official records, to December 31, 1953 after becoming a judicial officer.
