Hundreds of civil society leaders, lawyers and opposition politicians stormed the United States, U.S. embassy in Abuja on Saturday.


The protesters demanded that the U.S intervene in the “constitutional crisis” ignited by President Muhammadu Buhari with the removal of Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Already, the president has appointed Justice Tanko Muhammad as the acting CJN.


The protesters, who where jointly led by CUPP spokesman, Imo Ugochinyere, Comrade Ariyo and Charlyboy, vowed to continue sitting at the embassy until tangible response comes out of their demand.

The group called on the NBA to announce total shut down on Monday and ban any lawyer from appearing or recognizing Muhammed.

Meanwhile, Muhammad, has urged the 250 appointed Chairmen and members of the Election Petition Tribunals to be guided by the fear of God in the performance of their duties.


The acting CJN stated this on Saturday in Abuja during the oath taking and swearing in ceremony of judicial officers appointed to oversee disputes arising from the forthcoming general elections.

“I am delighted to address you all on this occasion of the swearing-in ceremony for the newly appointed Chairmen and members of Election Petition Tribunals for the 2019 General Elections that is around the corner.

“As you lordships take the oath of office as chairmen and members of the Election Petition Tribunals, let me remind you that this oath is a solemn appeal to Almighty God.

“Therefore, it is God Almighty that you will be ultimately responsible to.

“Therefore, it is from this oath that your duties and responsibilities as chairmen and members of the Election Petition Tribunals in your various places of assignment spring forth and has a binding effect.

“This is an ethical undertaking to justice as well as upholding the rule of law in our courts.

“As such, I implore you to discharge your onerous duty diligently and with the fear of God Almighty,’’ he said.

Muhammad also said: “the judiciary is in the trying time, you must stand to protect and uphold the integrity of this arm of government’’.

“I therefore congratulate you on this appointment and I urge you to see this assignment as a call to greater service to your nation.

“I encourage you to uphold and enhance the honour and standing of the judiciary and I pray that the Almighty God will bestow upon you strength, good health and wisdom in the performance of your duties’’, Muhammad said.

Laughable

Buhari is a terorist!

Buhari may finally get to understand that he cannot wake up one morning and take decision on his own without understanding that every arms of the government have structure.
The judiciary is the least you can try to mess around with!







Let's wait to see how the drama unfolds..

Complete waste of time and energy. If you don't like the President's decision, go to court. Nigeria is not a county in United States.

The same Trump that Nancy Pelosi is spanking like a toddler is the one IPOB thugs counting to come and sack Buhari.

Buhari na bastard ooo

Jonathans govt was way better than this nonsense we call govt.
Jonathan had all the opportunities to remove jega then but he didn't make because maybe he is not strong willed or he was jst being a good man.
Buharis govt is the worst Nigeria has ever had from 1999. Though we all knw it's the cabal that is at work cos buhari is too weak to even think.

But the guy no fit near Wuse Market and try that...he don learn im lesson

I don't just understand the this Igbo's are crying like someone who lost his child over this onnogen case,criminals will always stand by a criminal

When GEJ suspended Sanusi, we asked, what about 2/3rd required from the Senate to remove him? they said, suspension is not the same thing as sack. Emefiele was appointed and confirmed almost immediately by the Senate while SLS investigation was ongoing. No uproar from PDP, Senate or social media noise makers.

GEJ suspended President of Court of appeal, Ayo Salami, against NJC recommendations and several court orders. No uproar or protests. When you ask them about GEJ today, they call him a hero of democracy for conceding defeat in an election he lost woefully after several rigging attempts.

PMB today is a tyrant for obeying a CCT court order. Well, the CJN is suspended not sacked. Nigerians actually deserve the leaders and citizens around them. A civil servant who happened to be an arbiter of the law, has an undeclared $3m in his bank accounts, several houses, claiming he forgot to mention almost N1billion in his assets declaration form and you expect us to look the other way because of the political optics? Something is doing you. You are Nigeria's problem, yes You! . You deserve your leaders and fellow citizens. Couldn't be happier that I got out early.

Shameful, staging a protest for a thief/ corrupt judge
