The NJC panel had last Tuesday ordered Justice Salami to apologise to the CJN over alleged perjury emanating from the oath the latter took insinuating Justice Katsina-Alu’s directive over the Sokoto State governorship election petition.
The NJC gave Justice Salami a seven-day deadline to apologise to the CJN. The deadline expired yesterday.
But Justice Salami headed to the Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday to seek redress. The NJC rejected the service of the suit on Monday.
Justice Salami’s lawyers once again went to the council yesterday to effect the service, culminating in a mild drama at the NJC’s premises.
Pre-empting any action the NJC could take against him, Justice Salami’s lawyers yesterday drew the attention of the council to the suit instituted against the NJC and others before the Federal High Court, Abuja.
In a letter addressed to the NJC, titled: “Notification of Pendency of Court Action and Application for Injunction,” Justice Salami urged the council to stay all actions against him until the matter is disposed off by the court.
The letter written by his counsel, Chief Akin Olujimi [SAN] reads in part:
“We act as counsel to Hon. Justice lsa Ayo Salami, (OFR), the plaintiff in the above headed suit. It is on his behalf and instruction that we write this letter.
