National Judicial Council, NJC, has failed to reach a consensus on the planned re-instatement of suspended President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Isa Ayo Salami, just as an emergency meeting it held in Abuja, yesterday, ended in a stalemate.

Investigations by Vanguard revealed that the meeting, which was presided by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Dahiru Musdapher, turned rowdy immediately the issue of quashing the suspension handed to the embattled PCA on August 18, was introduced.

It was gathered that whereas the CJN, yesterday, expressed his intention to recommend the re-instatement of Justice Salami to President Goodluck Jonathan, however, some members of the council who are purportedly loyal to the former CJN, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu, opposed the idea, contending that such action was capable of setting a very dangerous precedence in the judicial system.
