The Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman, National Judicial Council, Justice Tanko Mohammed has directed the Judicial Service Committee of the FCT, Abuja to immediately initiate disciplinary action against the Upper Area Court Judge who issued direct Criminal Summons against the Anambra State APGA governorship candidate Professor, Chukwuma Soludo.
 
The directive was issued to the Judicial Service Committee under the Chairmanship of the Acting Chief Judge of the FCT, Justice Husseini Yusuf-Baba last week and confirmed by the spokesperson of the National Judicial Council, Soji Oye.
 
The Abuja Upper Area Court, presided over by Gambo Garba had in July 2021 issued a direct Criminal Summons against Professor Soludo over perjury, corruption and false assets declaration, an action which is said to be completely outside the jurisdiction of the Court.
