What happened In Court On Friday, About Acting CJN Tanko Mohammed’s Age Falsification Suit

Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed

The judgement in a suit filed by one Tochi Michael, accusing the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed, of age falsification has been fixed for hearing at an Abuja High Court Friday, May 31, 2019.

Justice Danlami Senchi fixed the date, following the failure of the plaintiff and his counsel to appear before the court, after filing their processes, Daily Post reports.

In the originating summon with suit No. FCT/HC/BW/CV/79/2019, filed before the court in April, the petitioner alleged that the CJN deliberately falsified his date of birth.

Michael alleged that the CJN falsified his date of birth from December 31, 1950 as contained in all his official records including that of WAEC to December 31, 1953 upon his appointment as a judicial officer.
