The case of the suspended President of
the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Ayo Isa Salami may be resolved today
as Federal High Court sitting in Abuja will deliver judgment in a suit
seeking to reinstate him as the PCA.
The suit was filed by the Registered
Trustees of Centre for the Promotion of Arbitration seeking to compel
NJC to reinstate Justice Salami.
Justice Salami has been on suspension
since August 18, 2011 when the NJC found him guilty of “gross
misconduct” following his refusal to apologise to former Chief Justice
of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu.
He was later recalled by the NJC who said that he was not blame worthy.
The National Judicial Council (NJC)
had insisted that it is within its vested constitutional powers to
recall and reinstate Justice Salami as the President of the Court of
Appeal and does not require the president’s authority to do so.
JUSTICE SALAMI
JUSTICE SALAMI
I think Justice Salami and the CJN should have opted for an out of court settlement but I think this is late right now.
