CJN Tanko Muhammad Resigns Amid Corruption Allegations

Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad has resigned as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

He reportedly tendered his resignation in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, citing health reasons.

The development comes amid the corruption allegations some Supreme Court judges leveled against him.

In a protest memo signed by 14 Supreme Court judges, Muhammad was accused of not giving justices their legitimate entitlements.

The justices said their annual foreign training, meant to enhance capacity building for the country’s judicial process, had been blocked by Muhammad.

The main issues put forward by the justices in their letter through a welfare committee were; non-replacement of poor vehicles; accommodation problems; lack of drugs at the Supreme Court clinic; epileptic electricity supply to the Supreme Court; increase in electricity tariff; no increase in the allowances for diesel; lack of internet services to residences and chambers.

They also claimed that while the CJN made provision for his personal staff and family members to travel abroad, only a few judges have had the opportunity under Muhammad.

The CJN had replied the judges, giving a breakdown of the expenses that the nation’s apex court made under him.

He had also explained that he refrained from joining issues with the judges until the letter which ought to be personal started spreading the society.

“This was akin to dancing naked at the market square by us with the ripple effect of the said letter,” Muhammad had said in his response, adding, “The Supreme Court definitely does not exist outside its environment, it is also affected by the economic and socio-political climate prevailing in the country. Besides that, the Apex Court has to a larger extent, been living up to its constitutional responsibility.

“The accusation so far, in summary, is that more or all ought to have been done and not that nothing has been done; which is utopian in the contemporary condition of our country.”

Muhammad had stepped into office after Walter Onnoghen, his predecessor, was removed on a controversial note in 2019.

Onnoghen was suspended in 2019 after a civil rights group filed a petition against him at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

Among the allegations leveled against him was owning some secret foreign accounts, which were run in a manner inconsistent with financial transparency and the code of conduct for public officials.

Although he denied the allegations, Onnoghen was convicted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal on April 18, 2019, for false assets declaration, and banned from holding public office for 10 years.
