“We wish to state with all emphasis that the CJN at no time had an audience with Governor Wike,” Ahuraka Yusuf Isah, Media Aide To the Chief Justice, said in a statement on Monday. “This includes before, on and after the said date.”
He noted that during the week of the purported first visit by the Governor Wike on 06 July, the CJN was away in Saudi Arabia performing Umrah.
Similarly, on 8 July, the date of the alleged second visit, the CJN was in court observing the interview of shortlisted applicants for the award of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, he said.
