CJN Tanko accuses termites of eating up his school certificate

The new Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad, has revealed that vicious termites destroyed his primary school certificate.

According to Premiumtimes, Mr Muhammad said the termites invaded his home in Bauchi State in 1998 and devoured all documents inside beyond recovery.

“No portion of the certificate was salvaged,” he said.

The claim is reportedly contained in an affidavit which he submitted to the Senate last week to be confirmed as the head of the Supreme Court.
