Apart from alleged failure to disclose his assets as stipulated by law, the federal government has also accused the CJN of operating foreign back accounts in the charge filed by the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.

Reacting to the trial, former governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose in a tweet said that the move is out of sheer desperation. Fayose further added that the speed at which the petition was filed against the CJN , clearly shows that the ‘sinister intention of the Presidency.’

Those the gods wish to destroy, they 1st make mad.This sinking govt taking on CJN is desperation taken too far.From Amina Zakari to the illegal plot to extend the IGP tenure & now assault on the CJN,it is obvious that God has departed from this govt as He left the Biblical Saul.

Similarly, Senator Shehu Sani in a tweet said whoever advised the federal government of such action has misled the government.

“CJN onnoghen;whoever sold the idea to the Government sold to them a powder of pepper in a pack of a snuff”.
