A certain Mr Tochi Michael who alleged that the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammed, falsified his age, will have to pay N10million in the next three weeks.

This is according to the injunctions of a Federal High Court which sat in Jabi area of Abuja.

The plaintiff, Mr Tochi Michael alleged that the acting CJN, Justice Tanko Mohammed reduced his age by three years.

Mr Michael alleged that the acting CJN was born on December 31, 1950, and has instead been using December 31, 1953, as his date of birth.

However, the court dismissed the suit alleging that the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) falsified his age.

Justice Danlami Senchi while dismissing the suit on Friday said the plaintiff does not have a locus standi to file such a suit as he has not shown how the allegations of falsification of age will cause him any personal injury over and above the general public of Nigerians.

The court also held that the plaintiff did not disclose how he came about the fact that the acting CJN falsified his age as there is no document or evidence before the court to prove that the acting CJN falsified his age.

The trial judge Justice Danlami Senchi said the suit in its entity was meant to scandalize, destroy and malign the acting CJN.

Besides dismissing the suit and awarding a cost of N10million against the plaintiff which must be paid within the next three weeks, the trial judge, Justice Danlami Senchi, also ordered that the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court begin disciplinary actions against the plaintiff’s counsel, Melkizadeck Zaro for unprofessional conduct.

Justice Senchi said such act is capable of bringing the judiciary to disrepute and cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

You call that one Supreme Court?
It's a big shame to have that as the highest court in the land

All those fake/false news spreaders sud come here n learn. The day u'l say something wrong about someone who won't just overlook it is coming.

And you truly believe Atiku would rescue Nigeria. A 70 yr old plus man who had been in govt even before you were born and was/is part of the elite that destroyed this country is suddenly your saviour. Mami think well.

.........OK

Did one don buy market.

bastardmod:

He did. Please come forward to the court. Otherwise keep shot

I'm shock to realised that some people do not understand the country they live. Even Baba Buhari they forget his official age!

Well served

When you make substantial claims it is only reasonable that you back it evidence

What is wrong with people?

The judgement is in order. Speculative suits that malign someone's character aren't proper. From the judgment there was no singular proof to back the allegation. In criminal justice, it is the duty of the complainant to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt. It is not the CJN's duty to prove he never falsified his age.

Oja ti burst

Next time, get your fact before blah blah blah

Mumu igbo man,in three weeks they are waiting for their pay.
No concrete evidence and fact.
