BREAKING: Senate President, Mark, orders immediate closure of National Assembly

The Senate President, David Mark, has announced an immediate closure of the National Assembly after an attempt to stop the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, from the assembly, plunged the complex into chaos.

Police fired teargas to push back a surging crowd Thursday after Mr. Tambuwal was denied access thrice before his loyalists smuggled him into the House of Representatives’ chamber later.

Apparently invoking his powers as the chairman of the National Assembly, Mr. Mark announced an immediate adjournment of the two chambers till Tuesday to forestall a breakdown of law and order.

Mr. Mark had reportedly met Mr. Tambuwal in solidarity after the speaker successfully gained access into the chamber.

The House of Representatives was in session at the time of the announcement, and it is yet unclear whether the Reps members will abide by Mr. Mark’s declaration.

Jonathan approves Justice Mahmud Mohammed as next CJN

President Goodluck Jonathan has approved the appointment of Justice Mahmud Mohammed as the next Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

He will take over from Justice Aloma Mukhtar, who is expected to retire as the first female CJN in the country on November 20.

About two weeks ago, the National Judicial Council (NJC) recommended Justice Mohammed to the president as the next CJN.

The name of Mohammed is expected to be forwarded to the Senate for confirmation.

Earlier, the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) recommended Mohammed to replace the outgoing CJN, Justice Aloma Mukhtar.

Justice Mukhtar will retire on November 20 when she would have clocked the mandatory retirement age of 70 years. She was born on November 20, 1944.

Justice Mohammed is the next most senior justice of the Supreme Court. Succession to the office has always been based on seniority.

Justice Mohammed hails from Jalingo in Taraba State. He was born on November 10, 1946.

He studied for his Bachelor’s degree in Law (LL.B) at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, graduating in 1970; after which he attended the Nigerian Law School in Lagos and was subsequently called to the Bar in 1971.

He began his career in public service with the Ministries of Justice of the defunct North-eastern State, and Gongola State, and the judiciary of the defunct Gongola State.

In 1991, he was appointed the acting Chief judge of Taraba State, and later confirmed the substantive Chief Judge of Taraba State in the same year.

Synagogue tragedy: South Africans to sue TB Joshua.

Two South Africans who lost relatives when a church hostel in the SCOAN collapsed have told the BBC they intend to sue Nigerian evangelist TB Joshua.

The two men, who both lost sisters in the collapse, are appealing for more families to come together in bringing a case against the preacher.

At least 115 people, including 84 South Africans, died when the multi-storey building fell down earlier this month.

The authorities say it had more floors than its foundation could hold.

On Sunday, Joshua, who is one of Nigeria’s best-known evangelists and is popular across Africa, announced plans to travel to South Africa to visit the families of the deceased.

Emergency workers allege they were prevented from participating in the rescue, only gaining full access to the site on Sunday afternoon – accusations denied by Pastor Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations.

Thanduxolo Doro and Mpho Molebatsi waited at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo airport for days after the collapse for news of their sisters, who had been visiting SCOAN.

Both families had last heard from their relatives hours before the collapse, which happened at about 13:50 local time (12.50 GMT) on Friday 12 September.

“It is not that the building collapsed, rather what was done after the collapse – we didn’t get any news from the church,” Doro, whose sister Vathiswa Madikiza died, told the BBC.

“When I contacted them they wouldn’t tell me anything. We saw reports that emergency workers were denied access initially, access that could have saved lives. The actions of the church after the incident are very telling,” he said.
