“We could not have manufactured such a statement if the alarm was not raised from the house of the CJN. This body only acted prompted to forestall any untoward incidence of arrest or embarrassment on the person of the CIN,” it said. “Arrests and detention of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and Mr Yinka Odumakin on account of this incident can only exacerbate the already tensed situation in the polity. Attorney-General is completely unnecessary, and a further deliberate attempt to harass and embarrass the high Office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. This is condemnable, considering the status of the CJN, who is the head of the third arm of government.
