Ibrahim Mohammed, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has warned against disobedience to lawful orders of courts in the country.


Mr Mohammed who gave the warning on Friday at the launching of the 9th House of Representatives Legislative Agenda, in Abuja said flouting of court orders will attract grave consequences.

The top jurist, represented by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, also said vowed that justice must be served without fear or favour.

“I will like to assure you that as you embark on this important voyage of national rebirth and reinvigoration through effective, people-oriented legislation, the judiciary is solidly behind you,” the CJN said at the gathering.


“Since our role is strictly limited to the interpretation of the laws of the land, we will not leave any stone unturned in that respect. You can rest assured that you already have a good and dependable ally in the Nigerian judiciary.

“We will on our part, as usual, vigorously pursue the observance of the rule of law by all citizens. There is no sacred cow anywhere, as no one is above the law, no matter his or her position in the society.


“Justice must be served without fear or favour. Every law of the land must be obeyed. Let me assure everyone present here that the consequences of disobeying lawful court orders will be too grave to bear.

“We all should gird our loins to do our constitutionally assigned duties with due diligence so that Nigeria can be the pride of everyone,” he added.

The warning comes amidst criticism against the federal government that has continued to detain some Nigerians freed by the courts.


Prominent among those being held by the government despite court orders for their release are: Sambo Dasuki, former National Security Adviser (NSA) and Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters, among several other Nigerians.

Our stooge judiciary has warned opposition parties.

He knows he's just joking cause his principal is the chief culprit

Hypocrite alert. ..

How many consequence has ur oga in Aso rock faced..

Carry doers...

Gbe enu re soun! Yeye stooge! And what has the CJN done about all the Nigerian and ECOWAS court orders that Buhari have disobeyed and continued to disobey till date?

Can this man tell Nigerians that he does not know that even he himself is a product of abuse of the same rule of law?

As if the technically incompetent CJN have not been in this government while Mr.President and his govt have not only disobeyed our courts, but have also spurned our constitution with utter impunity and bastardized our democratic values/institutions.Useless man.

Look at this jester making mockery of the judiciary and his office
The dude is a colossal failure well what do you expect from an Islamic law graduate

Forget about the big things, make we talk about the small things first. Give us steady light and good roads. Sell fuel #132 or less just as this Nigerian business is doing https://belle.ng/fuel-1-litre .

We all know the executive has annexed the other two organs of government.
