Abbo at a news conference in Abuja yesterday, alleged that the Appeal Court carried out “Judicial banditry” and miscarriage of justice against him and other federal lawmakers.
Nwosu-Iheme was among the 11 Justices from the Court of Appeal nominated for vacant seats at the Supreme Court by Tinubu in December last year as recommended by the National Judicial Council (NJC) and later confirmed by the Senate
A few days to the inauguration of Nwosu-Iheme and 10 others as Supreme Court justices by the Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Kayode Ariwoola, the Senator called on Tinubu to withdraw her nomination . Abbo’s election was nullified by the Appeal Court in October last year.
Abbo added that the alleged miscarriage of justice carried out against him by the justice was “also done by some other justices of the Court of Appeal against targeted elected lawmakers and governors , some of which were later upturned by the Supreme Court .”
He said: ” The kernel of my submission at this press conference is that appointment of Justice Chioma Nwosu – Iheme into the Supreme Court , is not good for our judicial system and dispensation of Justice .
“Justice Chioma Nwosu – Iheme is among some Justices in the country , carrying out judicial coup against democracy in Nigeria . Justices like her should not be allowed to get to the Supreme court.
” President Bola Tinubu should please in line with his renewed hope mantra , terminate the appointment of Justice Chioma Nwosu – Iheme into the Supreme Court to save our judiciary from Judicial bandits .
” For the required punishment and deterrence, I have filed petitions against Justice Chioma Nwosu – Iheme, Justice Olabode Adegbehingbe and Justice Muhammad Ibrahim Sirajo , to the NJC and Chief Justice of Nigeria ( CJN) , over their judgement in the electoral case between Rev. Amos Kumai of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and me.
” The said Justices of the Court of Appeal gave a deliberately skewed judgement against me , which should be critically looked into.”
