Nigerian Chief Judge, Ariwoola Attends Juma'at In Abuja Mosque Amid Controversial Meeting With Tinubu

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Kayode Ariwoola was on Friday spotted observing his prayers at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

 

He went to the prayers from the Supreme Court, Abuja.

This is coming in the wake of speculations that he is in London, United Kingdom, to meet president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

 

Recall that a series of controversies erupted after media reports said the CJN had secretly left the country for the United Kingdom to meet with the president-elect to discuss the presidential election cases.

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), two major opposition parties, have filed separate petitions challenging the results of the presidential election on February 25.

 

Reacting to this, the campaign team of Bola Tinubu denied the report of the clandestine meeting between the president-elect and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, in the UK.

 

The campaign, in a statement issued by one of its spokespersons, Bayo Onanuga, said contrary to the claim in the report, Tinubu was still in Paris, France and had not moved to London.
