The justices of the apex court in Nigeria said their annual foreign training, meant to enhance capacity building for the country’s judicial process, had been blocked by Mr Muhammad.
They accused Mr Tanko of junketing abroad with his wife, children, and cronies while denying them (justices) from doing the same. jamb results
“In the past, justices were nominated to attend two to three foreign workshops or training per anum with accompanying persons for reasons of age. Since your Lordship’s assumption of office, Justices only attend two workshops in Dubai and Zanzibar. They were not accorded the privilege of travelling with accompanying persons as was the practice,” stated the memo seen by Peoples Gazette and authenticated by sources at the Supreme Court.
“Your Lordship totally ignored this demand and yet travelled with your spouse, children, and personal staff. We demand to know what has become our training funds, have they been diverted, or it’s a plain denial.”
