Justice Walter Onnoghen, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has debunked reports going round that he resigned his position.
Awassam Bassey, CJN’s spokesman, made this known in a statement on Friday.
He stated: “There’s absolutely no truth in the rumours making the round that the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, His Lordship Hon. Mr. Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, GCON, has resigned his office. It is fake news!
“The Hon CJN was in the office all through yesterday and sat in court.
“As part of his duties, the Hon CJN will be swearing in members of the 2019 National Assembly, Governorship & State Assembly Election Petition Tribunals tomorrow (Saturday 26th January 2019).“
