The Nigerian Bar Association [NBA] has said that it will embark on a two-day warning boycott of all courts in Nigeria over the suspension of the Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Justice Onnoghen was suspended by President Buhari over alleged non-declaration of assets.
Rising from its NEC meeting on Monday, NBA said the boycott will commence from tomorrow the 29th day of January, 2019.
Meanwhile, sixty seven political parties have protested against Justice Onnoghen’s suspension.
The parties described it as “illegal, unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect.”
The parties included the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP), et al.
They said, like every other concerned stakeholder and Nigerian, they were very disturbed by the illegal suspension of the CJN and the swearing in of an acting CJN.
They said “both actions are illegal and foreign to our constitution.”
