Olukayode Ariwoola, a justice of the supreme court, has been sworn in as the acting chief justice of Nigeria (CJN).
The oath of office was administered to Ariwoola on Monday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The swearing in ceremony took place at the council chamber of the presidential villa in Abuja.
The acting CJN takes over from Tanko Muhammad, who resigned earlier on Monday.
This led to the inauguration of Justice Ariwoola – the next most senior justice of the Supreme Court at the time of Justice Muhammad’s resignation.
Until his resignation, according to reports, the immediate past CJN was seriously ill.
News of his resignation broke barely a week after 14 justices of the Supreme Court wrote to him to lament the dilapidated state of affairs in the apex court.
