The suspended senior judicial officer pleaded not guilty to the six counts of non-declaration of assets at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja.
He was immediately granted bail on self-recognisance by the tribunal following a short oral application by the defence counsel, Chief Chris Uche (SAN).
After the bail was granted, Uche also applied to the tribunal to adjourn to a date after the general elections.
