CJN SUSPENSION: Any silence, neutrality is consenting to illegality –Shehu Sani
Senator representing Kaduna Central has added his voice to the condemnation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
In a tweet on his Twitter handle Sani wrote, “CJN; The suspension is nothing but wrong and unconstitutional; Any Silence or neutrality on this is consenting to illegality. Shikenan.”
He also wrote:
“JUSTITIA hath been beheaded by the King;
“The Head dripping in blood taken to the Palace by the knights;
“The Bench has been dismantled and turned into a coffin;
“The scales are filled with the feaces of the courtiers;
“The sword is now the Gavel;What hath happened to Caesar?”

Earlier on Friday, before the news of CJN sack by Buhari and appointment of Justice Tanko Mohammed as acting CJN broke, Sani had taken to his Twitter to write:
“When the Parliament is demonized; When the Judiciary is violated; When the free press is hunted; When the civil society is antagonized; a tyranny is under construction.”
