BREAKING News: Embattled CJN, Onnoghen Appears in Court

 

The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen has finally appeared in court on Friday.

 

This is coming after the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday issued a bench warrant for Onnoghen's arrest.

 

The application followed Justice Onnoghen’s failure to appear before the tribunal to enter his plea to the six-count charge pending against him.

 

Justice Onnoghen who was accused of failing to declare his assets as prescribed by the law, as well as operated foreign bank accounts in contravention of the code of conduct for public officials, had on three previous dates, refused to appear before the CCT for arraignment.
