Justice Tanko Muhammad faces probe
The swearing-in ceremony held on Friday at the Supreme Court in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Shortly after the eight justices took turn to take their oath of office and oath of allegiance to the Nigerian Constitution, the CJN gave his remarks.
Justice Muhammad warned the newly appointed justices of the apex court to shun extraneous considerations while discharging their duties.
The justices, who were recently elevated from the Court of Appeal bench, comprise seven men and one woman, as well as five appointees from the North and three from the South.
Others are Adamu Jauro (North East), Samuel Oseji (Souty South), Tijani Abubakar (North East), and Emmanuel Agim (South South).
The recent inauguration of the judicial officers has raised the number of justices of the Supreme Court from 12 to 20.
