Students Asks Jonathan to Halt Salami’s Suspension

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately withdraw the suspension of the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami.

In a statement signed by its President-elect, Dauda Mohammed, the association challenged the president to use the opportunity of the "judicial razzmatazz" to prove to the nation his commitment to the rule of law, justice and the fight against corruption, stressing that the president should allow the court to decide on the matter since it is already before it.

It would be recalled that Justice Salami has been on suspension since last week on the recommendation of the Nigeria Judicial Council following his refusal to “apologize to the Chief Justice of Nigeria”.
