Court Dismisses Suit Against Acting CJN, Tanko Over "Age Falsification" by Adeitanajoke(f): 1:56pm On May 31, 2019
A Federal High Court sitting in Jabi area of Abuja has dismissed a suit alleging that the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) falsified his age.

The plaintiff, Mr Tochi Michael alleged that the acting CJN, Justice Tanko Mohammed reduced his age by three years.

Mr Michael alleged that the acting CJN was born on December 31, 1950, and has instead been using December 31, 1953, as his date of birth.

Justice Danlami Senchi while dismissing the suit on Friday said the plaintiff does not have a locus standi to file such a suit as he has not shown how the allegations of falsification of age will cause him any personal injury over and above the general public of Nigerians.

The court also held that the plaintiff did not disclose how he came about the fact that the acting CJN falsified his age as there is no document or evidence before the court to prove that the acting CJN falsified his age.

The trial judge Justice Danlami Senchi said the suit in its entity was meant to scandalise, destroy and malign the acting CJN.

Justice Senchi said such act is capable of bringing the judiciary to disrepute and cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

The court also awarded a cost of N10million against the plaintiff which must be paid within the next three weeks.

Good for the plaintiff. Go pay 10m. This should be applicable to anyone who takes another person to court without any concrete evidence to back a claim up

Don't be a lazy youth, request for the case file from the court or lawyer.
The court knows that the evidence is solid but the suit was dismissed because the plaintiff had
no standing in the case.

Yet from the report that the OP posted...

The court also held that the plaintiff did not disclose how he came about the fact that the acting CJN falsified his age as there is no document or evidence before the court to prove that the acting CJN falsified his age.

So, no documentary proof.

Sorry, and next time, don't insult me by calling me a lazy youth.

I love this part the most. That is how it should be from now on. If you rush to court and file any useless suit, you will pay a fine at the end for wasting everybody's time.
