CJN travelled for medicals, never met Tinubu Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Friday distanced the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, from a purported meeting with the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in London.
There had been several reports (Not The PUNCH) claiming that the duo met in London. It was reported that the CJN disguised in a wheelchair and was wheeled into the aeroplane to London.
But debunking the reports on Friday, the Supreme Courts spokesperson, Festus Akande, said the reports were false.
He said though the CJN travelled out of the country, he was out for medical care not for meeting with the president-elect.
the CJN has been in Nigeria, and presided over meetings of the National Judicial Council (NJC) held on 16 and 17 March, Akande told Premium Times.
