The senate has confirmed Monica Dongban-Mensem as the president of the court of appeal.
Dongban-Mensem
was confirmed after Opeyemi Bamidele, chairman of the committee on
judiciary and legal matters, presented a report.
“The committee
interviewed her and received explanation about her career. That the
appointment of the nominee satisfy the requirements of the constitution
as amended,” Bamidele said.
“Having screened the nominee and
satisfied with her competence, the committee do recommend the
confirmation of Monica Dongban-Mensem as the president of the court of
appeal.”
On Wednesday, Senate President Ahmad Lawan said the
confirmation of the judge would be expedited to avoid “a constitutional
crisis”.
A letter by President Muhammadu Buhari asking the senate
to confirm her as the substantive appeal court president was read by
the senate president on Tuesday.
Dongban-Mensem has been acting as head of the appellate court since the retirement of Zainab Bulkachuwa in March.
Although
the National Judicial Council (NJC) had recommended her appointment as
the substantive head of the court, Buhari did not send her name to the
senate for confirmation.
Instead, the president extended her tenure as acting president of the court till September.
TheCable
had reported how dirt-digging was employed by some presidential
advisers to get her disqualified and pave the way for Mohammed Lawal
Garba.
Garba was the judge who chaired the 2019 presidential election petitions tribunal that ruled in favour of Buhari.
