Between the CJN, the PCA and the NJC Panel

The Crux of the issue as can be discerned from the Panel’s report is this:

The Case of the Hon. CJ N is that the Hon. PCA was called to the CJN’s chambers on the 8th day of February 2010 to disband the Sokoto Panel because there was evidence of leakage of the judgment in the Sokoto matter.

The Hon. PCA’s version is that he was called by the CJN to instruct the Panel to dismiss the appeal. As at 8th day of February 2010, when the PCA was called to the CJN’s chambers, there was no petition against the PCA at all, this is so because the Petitions against the PCA in respect of the Sokoto matter only emanated on the 15th February 2010!!!

It is worthy of note that the above-mentioned petitions on which the CJN laid a lot of emphasis, does not allege leakage of judgment by the Petitioners.

The Abdullahi Panel found out as a matter of fact in the report that there was no leakage of judgment. It follows therefore that the Abdullahi Panel exonerated the Court of Appeal Justices of any leakage in its judgment. Then the only tenable version among the contending parties is that of the Hon. PCA who has been consistent on the issue.
