Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed, Chief Justice of Nigeria, on Wednesday described the nation’s judiciary as one of the best in Africa.

But a critical look at the CJN affidavit which is circulating on the social media shows that the CJN said termites destroyed his primary school certificate when his home in Bauchi was invaded in 1998.

The CJN who was sworn-in by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja, told those making corruption allegation not to bring hollow allegation that they would not be able to substantiate when called upon.

Justice Tanko Mohammed was first sworn-in on January 25 this year as the acting CJN when President Buhari suspended the immediate past CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

He became the 18th CJN at the brief ceremony.

Mohammed, who took over from the immediate past and retired CJN, Walter Onnoghen, was screened and cleared by the Senate last week.
