The Senate has begun the screening of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
This followed two motions to that effect moved by the Senate Leader, Ibrahim Gobir, on the floor of the Senate.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan called for the screening exercise to be moved forward from where it was listed on the order paper.
Gobir moved that the Senate resolve into the Committee of the Whole to conduct the screening as well as suspend its relevant rules to admit the acting CJN Ariwoola and his entourage into the chambers.
The motions were approved by the Senate when they were put to voice vote by Lawan.
The delegation was led by the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters Babajide Omoworare.
