Salami-Gate:Justice Salami Opens Cans of Worms: Says Chief Justice asked me to compromise Sokoto Guber petition: Source, Nigeria Sunnewspaper

The raging feud between the President of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Ayo Isa Salami and the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Aloysius Iyorgher Kastina- Alu reached a climax yesterday with a suit brought against the CJN by Justice Salami. In the originating summons filed by  his counsel, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the plaintiff named the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC), the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the Attorney General of Federation (AGF) as 2nd  to 4th Defendants/ Respondents respectively.
He specifically accused Katsina-Alu in his supporting affidavit of asking him to compromise the Court of Appeal’s  judgment with respect to the Sokoto Governorship legal battle. Salami said he was asked by the CJN to either reconstitute the original panel, which he (Katsina-Alu) believed  was about to give a verdict adverse to the governor’s interest or direct the panel to give judgment in the governor’s favour.
He also seeks an interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants jointly and/or severally, by themselves, and all officers, servants and functionaries of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or otherwise, howsoever, from recognising, acting on, doing anything in recognition of, or putting into effect any decision of the defendants purporting to appoint the plaintiff to the Supreme Court as a Justice of the Court pending the hearing and determination of the Originating Summons
