Justice Walter Onnoghen who was yesterday confirmed by the Senate as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), and so became the 15th person to occupy the exalted seat after Nigeria’s independence in 1960 has declared that it is not going to be business as usual when court orders are flouted.
The new Chief Justice maintained that the independence of the judiciary would record a boost during his reign.
The confirmation puts to rest the allegation of discrimination against him by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for hailing from the southern part of the country. And with his confirmation, the judiciary is primed for an effective dispensation of justice, The Guardian reports.

At a confirmation hearing which lasted an hour and 16 minutes, Onnoghen also took a swipe at the culture of utter disregard for the judiciary through blunt refusal to execute court rulings.
The new CJN declared that the judiciary would not bow to external influence during his reign. “I remain who I am. It will be very impossible to pocket the judiciary on my watch; I don’t think it will ever happen,” he declared.
