High ranking judicial officer resigns over corruption allegations

 



 

 

Nigeria’s highest-ranking judicial officer Justice Tanko Muhammad has resigned from his position.

Multiple local reports say Mr Muhammad, Nigeria’s Chief Justice, resigned on the grounds of ill health.

 

His resignation comes amid allegations of corruption, nepotism and neglect of personnel welfare against him by other Supreme Court justices.

 

He denied the allegations, saying “judges in all climes are to be seen and not heard” and that the unprecedented public spat was “akin to dancing naked in the market square”.

Mr Muhammad first became a justice of the top court in 2006 and became Nigeria’s Chief Justice in 2019 after the controversial removal of his predecessor by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The next ranking justice is expected to be sworn in as a successor by President Buhari.

  Bajau people are nomads people from South East Asia that live their entire life in aquatic. Almost their entire life revolves around oceans.   These people are constantly diving and thus holding their breath. This has lead to several evolutionary novelties in these people which are adaptation for diving in the ocean. An increased spleen size due to genetic notations PDE10A in these people act as an oxygen reservoir so they can hold their breath longer.  Mutations in gene BDKRB2 also increase peripheral vasoconstriction helping the body preferentially oxygenate important part of the body like the brain while diving.  Mutations in the gene FAM178B (which might have evolved via adaptive introgreesion from denisovan  interbreeding) help maintain regular pH in the bloodstream to prevent carbon accumulation during diving, Variants of PDE10A help regulation of smooth muscle contraction including ones near the spleen and variants of CACNA1A are involved in the r...
