The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, has debunked the rumour in a section of the media that he has resigned.
Onnoghen was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari last Friday and replaced with the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Tanko Mohammed, as Acting CJN.
A statement signed by Onnoghen’s media aide, Awassam Bassey, today described the CJN’s rumoured resignation as “fake news circulated by mischief makers”.
“Mischief makers are still circulating this fake news. Once again, no truth in it whatsoever. The Hon CJN, Hon Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, GCON, has not resigned,” the statement says.
