The former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Muhammad, is predicted to get an N2.5bn severance package from the Federal Government.
On Monday, Muhammad announced his resignation on health grounds.
This is coming less than a week after the 14 Supreme Court Justices accused him of financial malfeasance and maladministration.
Following the development, President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday swore in Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the next most senior Justice as the acting CJN.
As part of the package for the retired chief justice put together by the National Judicial Council, a mansion will be built for him in Abuja or any city of his choosing with a lump sum for furnishing.
This is in addition to a gratuity that is 300 percent of his annual basic salary of N3.36m as well as a pension for life.
The former CJN would get the financial package based on the provisions of Section 291 (2) and (3a-c) of the 1999 Constitution as well as Section 2 of the Pensions Rights of Judges Act.
