Drama: How CJN corrected Appeal Court Justice who said ‘Allah’ instead of 'God' during oath taking

As the Chief Justice of Nigeria was swearing in 18 Appeal Court justices yesterday, Olasunbo Goodluck, one of the newly-appointed Appeal Court Judges, while taking her oath of office, said “so help me Allah” instead of the official “so help me God” in the concluding part of the oath.

Justice Olasunbo Goodluck, a Muslim was walking away from the microphone, when the CJN, Ibrahim Muhammad, ordered her to return and say “so help me God”. This made everyone laugh as she returned to comply with the order.
