Supreme Court Reacts to Reports That Five Judges Withdrew From Atiku And Obi's Electoral Cases Against Tinubu

 

Nigeria's apex court, The Supreme Court of Nigeria has debunked reports that some judges withdrew from the electoral cases of Mr Peter Obi and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against President Bola Tinubu.

 

There were reports of alleged crisis in the court due to the purported refusal of some members of the panel to participate, claiming that five of the seven Justices pulled out of the case.

 

But the Supreme Court says that the panel is not going through any issues and was prepared to hear the cases on Monday, October 23.

 

“I assure you that the panel is intact and will hear the appeals on Monday,” Supreme Court’s Director, Press and information, Dr. Festus Akande, said.

 

Ahead of the hearings, security measures have been put in place and entry into the courtroom will be restricted.
