The Chief Judges of Rivers, Kebbi, Cross River, Anambra, Jigawa and Imo State have been summoned to an emergency meeting by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Justice Tanko Muhammad.
This is part of efforts to stem the recent wave of embarrassing and conflicting ex parte orders emanating from judges in these jurisdictions.
In a letter of invitation dated 30th of August, 2021, the CJN summoned the head of the concerned courts to the emergency meeting to brief him on the incessant granting of the conflicting orders on suits instituted by different political parties before the various courts.
