The search for a replacement for Justice Ayo Salami who resigned Thursday as Chairman of the Corruption and Financial Crime Cases Trial Monitoring Committee (COTRIMCO) has begun in earnest.

A source who said he was not authorised to comment on the issue told THISDAY that the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, has already commenced shopping for a replacement.

He said already, some names have been mentioned as possible replacement. He however did not mention any name.
Meanwhile, the CJN has confirmed that Salami had indeed resigned his appointment but said he was yet to receive the letter conveying the resignation.

The Media Adviser to the CJN, Mr. Don Bassey, in a short message confirmed that the CJN was aware that Salami, who initially accepted the offer to serve as the committee chairman, suddenly rejected the offer.
Bassey said: “I can confirm that it is true. I mean the resignation of Justice Salami.
