Businessman Drags Acting CJN Mohammed To Court Over Alleged Age Falsification

A 46-year-old businessman, Mr Tochi Michael, has dragged Justice Tanko Muhammad, the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) before an FCT High Court over alleged age falsification.





In the originating summon with suit No. FCT/HC/BW/CV/79/2019, filed before the court in April, the petitioner alleged that the CJN deliberately falsified his date of birth.

Michael alleged that the CJN falsified his date of birth from Dec. 31, 1950 as contained in all his official records, including that of WAEC to Dec. 31, 1953 upon his appointment as a judicial officer, NAN reports


The petitioner in the originating summon is praying the court to determine whether such act of the CJN does not constitute a criminal act of perjury, falsification and forgery.

Michael in the originating summon also prayed the court to determine whether by falsifying his date of birth from Dec. 31, 1950 to Dec. 31, 1953 upon being appointed to Nigeria Bench as a judicial officer he has not breached the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The petitioner is also praying the court to determine whether Justice Mohammed has not breached the Code of Conduct for judicial officers and consequently brought the image of Nigeria Judiciary to a state of disrepute and odium.


The petitioner in his reliefs is praying the court for a declaration that the defendant falsified his date of birth and that the defendant has desecrated the breach of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN).

He is also praying for an order directing the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to prosecute the defendant for the offence of perjury and an order which the court may deem it fit.

Counsel to the CJN, Mr Sam Ologunorisa, SAN, informed the court that the plaintiff and his counsel were not in the court.

Ologunorisa told the court that it seems the plaintiff and his counsel were “running away” from the suit they filed, stressing that the court should do the needful in the interest of justice.

Ruling on the prayers, Justice Danlami Senchi of the court said that another opportunity would be given to the petitioner to appear in the court to prove the allegation.

Justice Senchi adjourned the matter until Friday.
He ordered that hearing notices be served on the petitioner.

  1. EFCC are busy fighting internet fraud known as yahoo which is a good one anyway, and the real criminals are in politics busy falsifying their age, forging certificate and some don't even have Waec certificate but are in power ruling. Isn't Nigeria an interesting movie to watch?

    If this is true, then believe me nothing may come out from it. Isn't he a hierarchy northerner? Another exercise that could be in futility.

  3. As for me I would like him to come out and be seen physically, so the public would know they have not silenced him for daring to challenge the cabal. Because I don't believe anyone would file such a suit and choose not to show up in court without a very strong reason...
