NJC denies fixing date for swearing in 11 newly appointed Supreme Court Justices

The attention of the National Judicial Council has been drawn to a trending story purportedly informing the public that the newly appointed 11 Supreme Court Justices would be sworn in on Monday 16 January 2023.
The Council by this medium expressly denies the news as it did not emanate from the Council or the Office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Hon. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, GCON.
The date for the swearing in of the Justices will be made public at the appropriate time.
Members of the public should please disregard the trending news.
