From one illegality to another illegality.

President Buhari swore-in an Acting CJN on Friday, 25th January 2019, and Tanko Muhammad commenced work immediately.
Has Justice Tanko Muhammad deposed to an affidavit at Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) between Friday, 25 Januray and Saturday, 26 January declaring his assets?

Has ACJN complied with Section 290 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)?
For the avoidance of doubt, section 290 (1) provides that:-

(1) A person appointed to any judicial office shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed under this Constitution...
and has subsequently taken and subscribed the Oath of Allegiance and the Judicial Oath prescribed in the seventh Schedule to this Constitution.
Whereas Justice Tanko has taken oath of office, he has not declared his assets as required by Section 290 of the constitution, yet he has performed a function of the office he occupies.
