According to the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoola, did not meet with Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in London.

The Supreme Court’s statement is in response to an online platform, Peoples Gazette, reporting that the CJN disguised himself in a wheelchair and met with the President-elect in London.

Contrary to claims by the report that Mr Ariwoola travelled out of Nigeria on 11 March to the United Kingdom to meet with the president-elect, Mr Akande said “the CJN has been in Nigeria, and presided over meetings of the National Judicial Council (NJC) held on 16 and 17 March.”

Akande disclosed that the CJN accompanied by NJC’s Secretary, Gambo Saleh, only travelled out of Nigeria briefly to London on 18 March for medical care.

“On 23 March, the CJN returned from his medical trip to London and later reported in the office (in Abuja), where he worked till 8p.m.

“The only time the CJN travelled earlier this year was on 25 January, when he travelled for Lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia. He returned on 29 January 2023,” the Supreme Court spokesperson explained.
