Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday struck out a suit by Malcom Omirhobo Foundation, challenging the fitness of Justice Tanko Muhammad to hold the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
The Judge ruled that the plaintiff lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.
Justice Eweko upheld the the preliminary objection raised by the defendants in the suit filed, saying that the group’s object of registration did not authorise it to engage in the “public interest litigation” which it claimed to be undertaking by filing the action.
This is coming days after President Mohammadu Buhari forwarded the name of the acting CJN to the National Assembly for confirmation.
