The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, has directed its members across the nation to boycott the courts for an initial two days over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Rising from an emergency National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting on Monday, the association said its decision to embark on the warning boycott was to press for the reversal of the President’s decision to appoint an Acting CJN Tanko Mohammed last Friday.

The boycott begins tomorrow, Tuesday, January 29.
Recall that Onnoghen is facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for alleged false declaration of assets and was suspended by the President last Friday.
The suspension has attracted mixed reactions from within and outside the shores of the country.
