Democracy In Danger!!! Buhari Is Not Aware, As 8 Supreme Court Justices’ Offices Are Declared Vacant

The number of Justices of the Supreme Court has dropped from 14 to 13, as Justice Amiru Sanusi retires from the Apex Court’s bench today (Monday).
This development comes on the heels of repeated complaints by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, that himself and his colleagues on the Apex Court’s bench are overworked.
The Constitution provides for 21 Justices, as a full complement of the Apex Court’s bench; a status the Highest Court of the land has never attained.
The number of Justices of the Supreme Court reached 17, on January 18, 2019, when the then Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen (Rtd.), swore-in Justice Uwani Abba-Aji to the Apex Court’s bench.
However, starting with the controversial exit of Justice Onnoghen from the bench, in April 2019, and the retirement of Justices Kumai Akaahs and Sidi Bage, last year, the number of the Supreme Court Justices dropped to 14.

In June 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari wrote a letter requesting the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, to “initiate in earnest, the process of appointing additional 5 Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, to make the full complement of 21 Justices”, as provided by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

The President, however, is yet to act on the list of 4 Justices of the Court of Appeal recommended by the National Judicial Council, NJC, and sent to him for appointment to the Apex Court ’s bench, since October 2019.

A statement by the NJC’s Director, Information, Mr. Soji Oye, had stated that the Council, at its meeting which held on October 22 and 23, 2019, recommended Justices Adamu Jauro, Emmanuel Agim, C. Oseji, and Helen Ogunwumiju.
While the President is being awaited to forward the names of the nominees to the Senate for confirmation, Justice Akaahs retired from the Supreme Court’s bench, on December 12, 2019.

The Supreme Court’s Director of Information, Dr. Festus Akande, in a statement announced that Justice Amiru Sanusi, who was appointed to the Apex Court’s bench in May 2015, would retire on Monday, attaining the mandatory retirement age of 70, today.
With his retirement, the number of Supreme Court Justices which is currently 14, will drop to 13, leaving a gap of 8 Justices to make the full complement of 21.
Reacting on behalf of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, the Association’s National Publicity Secretary, Kunle Edun, said that the delay in the process of appointing four Judges recommended by the NJC for the Apex Court’s bench, had “created unhealthy burden on the Supreme Court Justices, who are now forced to overwork themselves”.
Edun added that it is worrying that the Supreme Court had been unable to get its full complement of 21 Justices.

He stated: “It is worrying that the Supreme Court has yet to have its full complement of Justices on the Supreme Court bench. The recent recommendation of the National Judicial Council on the elevation of some Justices of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court, has yet to be acted upon by the Presidency and the Senate.
“The President is to approve the nominations and present the same to the Senate for confirmation.
“This delay has created an unhealthy burden on the Supreme Court Justices, who are now forced to overwork themselves. In many cases, appeals stay in the Supreme Court for 10 years, before one can get a hearing date.
“This should not be the case. When justice is delayed, it could propel litigants to resort to other options to settle scores, which would not help the society.
“The Nigerian Bar Association, therefore, urges the Federal Government and all parties involved, to consider the recommendations of the NJC quickly. It has been about 5 months now, and still nothing done.”
