CJN Tanko cautions Judges to refrain from granting incessant ex-parte orders
The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad, on Monday cautioned judges in Nigeria against granting of incessant ex-parte orders so as to redeem the judiciary from being projected in bad light.
CJN Tanko, at the 2021 All Nigeria Judges’ Conference in Abuja, on Monday, challenged the judges to rise and restore the public confidence on the judiciary by desisting from giving incessant ex-parte orders that have portray the judiciary in a bad light.
The CJN emphasized the importance of an incorruptible judiciary, noting that it is the desire of citizens that justice must be done without delay at all times, and be seen to have been done.
Justice Tanko maintained that judicial officers should rise to the challenge and restore public confidence in the ability to dispense justice without fear or favour and in line with the knowledge and understanding of the law. The CJN pointed out that the credible performance of the judiciary and its timely intervention prevented the present democratic system in the country from collapsing.
CJN Tanko appealed for more allocations to the judiciary.
