Kutigi makes history, swears in Katsina-Alu
HISTORIC. Really historic. That is the way to describe the swearing in of Justice Iyorgher Aloysius Katsina-Alu as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) by the outgoing Chief Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi.
Reason: For the first time in the country's history, two Chief Justices occupied that office, albeit for 12 hours. Kutigi retires today upon the attainment of the statutory 70 years of age, while the in-coming is billed to retire on August 20, 2011.
