The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Mohammed has vowed that the judiciary would not rest on its oars until corruption is stamped out of the country.

He also added that from January to November this year, 1,144 suspects were convicted of various corruption offences and financial crimes including hundreds of millions of cash forfeitures, alongside eight aircraft, seven fuel stations among others.
He further noted that for any nation to prosper, the judiciary must remain independent and insulated from interference.
He said the judges must dispense justice without fear or favour and in line with the knowledge and understanding of the law.
