A Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained President Muhammadu Buhari and others from removing the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Justice Inyang Ekwo on Monday ordered the parties to maintain status quo over the moves to remove the CJN.
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN) had on Friday filed an application asking the court to order Justice Onnoghen to step aside as the CJN and the chairman of the National Judicial Council and hand over to the next senior judge to avoid creating a vacuum.
