There is a protest currently ongoing outside the National Secretariat of the Nigerian Bar Association in Abuja.
Members of the Nigeria Bar Association, Civil Society Organisation of
Nigeria and the opposition parties are currently protesting the removal
of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the
appointment of Justice Tanko Muhammad as the acting CJN.
The protesters carried placards with inscriptions like “Tanko
Mohammed, stop parading yourself as CJN;” “NBA must act now by ordering
lawyers to down tool;” “Amaechi, El-Rufai, Akpabio, Malami, APC: brains
behind Onnoghen’s trial;” “NJC must reconvene now and expel Justice
Tanko Mohammed,”. See more photos from the protest below.
