(LOCAL) CCT Fix Date For Judgement In Suspended CJN, Walter Onnoghen’s Case
The Code of Conduct Tribunal on Monday fixed Thursday, April 18, for its final judgment in the charges of false and non-declaration of assets instituted against the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen by the Federal government. The Danladi Umar-led three-man bench fixed the date for judgment after the prosecution led by Mr. Aliyu Umar (SAN), and the defence led by Mr. Okon Efut (SAN), adopted their final addresses.
While adopting his final address, Onnoghen’s counsel, Okon Nkanu prayed the tribunal to dismiss the six-count charges against his client on grounds that the prosecution failed to prove the essential ingredients of the charges beyond all reasonable doubts. Also, Nkanu argued that false asset declaration charge against Onnoghen was unknown to law, saying it was not clearly defined by the constitution.
