Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has intervened in the political crisis in Rivers State, where Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been at odds with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Reports indicate that Justice Kekere-Ekun has summoned judges involved in issuing conflicting rulings on political cases in the state.
A panel from the National Judicial Council (NJC) will investigate these judges, with Justice Kekere-Ekun requiring a report to be submitted this week.
The panel, led by a former Court of Appeal justice, includes two heads of courts.
The CJN has also summoned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for questioning on Tuesday.
This development follows formal complaints submitted to the Council. It is understood that the CJN personally ordered a comprehensive probe.
