The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, has tested positive for COVID-19.
This was made known by a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, at the unveiling of the national headquarters of the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria in Abuja on Tuesday.
The CJN was on Monday absent from the new legal year ceremony of the Supreme Court where he was scheduled to preside over the inauguration of 72 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria.
However, Saulawa revealed on Tuesday that the CJN was receiving treatment in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
