VAT JUDGEMENT WILL BE FAIR AND FREE FROM EXTERNAL INFLUENCE- CJN TANKO MUHAMMAD.{PHOTO}.

Ibrahim Muhammad, chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), says the panel which will hear an appeal by the Rivers state government on the value-added tax (VAT) controversy will be free from external influence.


Rivers is seeking a supreme court ruling setting aside an order of the appeal court which directed the state to maintain status quo on the collection of VAT pending the determination of an appeal filed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).


Supreme court insiders had told TheCable on Thursday that there are plans to arrange a UK trip for the CJN before a panel is constituted to determine the appeal.


In his absence, Mary Odili, the No 2 in the supreme court hierarchy and former first lady of Rivers state, will appoint the members of the panel.


However, A senior special assistant on media to CJN, Isah Ahuraka, said the CJN is healthy and thus, has no plan to travel to the UK for medical attention.
