ONNOGHEN PRESENT FOR TRIAL AT CCT AFTER HEALTH ISSUES

The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, is present for his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), after attending to his health issues.
Justice Onnoghen’s trial was adjourned last week following his absence on health grounds.
His counsel, Adeboyega Awomolo, had tendered a letter from the CJN, explaining that he developed issues with his tooth and could not make it to court.
The prosecutor, on the other hand, Aliyu Umar, said he had also received a copy of the letter as well as a medical report indicating he had a high blood pressure.
In today’s sitting, the prosecution, Mr. Umar, called for the first witness, Mr. James Akpala, a Senior Investigative officer with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
He told the tribunal that he was directed by his superiors to carry out an investigation and was giving a petition to carry out the investigation.
He said that the petition was received from one Denis Aganya alleging breach of Code of Public Office including non-declaration of assets and false declaration of assets against the CJN.
