The Supreme Court has stopped the
National Assembly from taking further steps towards amending the 1999
constitution.
In a ruling this morning, a seven-man
panel of justices of the apex court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN,
Justice Mahmud Mohammed, ordered the National Assembly to maintain status quo
on the matter until June 18.
The apex court further directed the
issuance of hearing notice on the NASS for it to appear on that date to respond
to the suit that was lodged against the proposed alterations to the
constitution, by President Goodluck Jonathan.
More details soon…
