They also co-opted senior officials of the National Judicial Council (NJC) in the plan.<\/p>\n<p>A source at the NJC said the plan was contrived late last year but was put on hold until after the retirement of Justice Mary Odili who could have only served as the CJN for less than a year had Muhammad resigned before she left.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was said to have been predicated on the ex-CJN\u2019s deteriorating health condition.<\/p>\n<p>A senior advocate of Nigeria, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the ex-CJN was forced to resign on two grounds \u2013 the letter collectively written against him by 14 Supreme Court justices, and \u201ccertain issues of financial impropriety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said there was the veiled issue of ill-health, which has long been known by many judicial stakeholders but the ex-CJN was left to continue in the position till December 2023, when he was due to retire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis condition became so obvious when his supporting staff were behind most of the correspondences, which they preface with \u2018I have been directed\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Removal finalised overnight\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Another source close to the ex-CJN, who craved anonymity, said Muhammad was fetched from his house Sunday night to an unknown destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn arrival, he was presented with a letter of resignation and they demanded that he signed the letter. He was told it was from the president and he obliged them based on that. He was not allowed to make any consultation, including even with his family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But another source at the Supreme Court said Muhammad had suffered serious health challenges making it difficult to perform his day-to-day functions, including sitting on cases and attending to files.<\/p>\n<p>He said the situation was partly responsible for the crisis in the court, which led to the letter recently leaked by the 14 judges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the dust raised by the resignation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, begins to settle, more information about the intrigues and power play that characterised his departure from the country&#8217;s highest judicial office has come to the fore.
