BREAKING: Anxiety as CCT Postpones Judgment on Onnoghen
The Court Registrar gave the announcement
minutes ago when the embattled former CJN was already at the court premises but
still inside his Land Cruiser SUV.
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) sitting in
Abuja has shifted its ruling on the trial of the former Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Walter Onnonghen, to 12pm.
The Court Registrar gave the announcement
minutes ago when the embattled former CJN was already at the court premises but
still inside his Land Cruiser SUV.
Onnonghen arrived at the court at exactly
8:40am, with the ruling, as of then, expected to start by 10am.
The court was yet to sit as of the time of
filing in this report, but the consortia of lawyers of both prosecution and
defence were also arriving at the court.
Immediately the announcement was made, the
unmarked SUV that brought Onnoghen left the court premises with his security
details.
Onnoghen had been standing trial for charges
of fraudulent declaration of assets and for operating bank domiciliary foreign
currency accounts filed against him by the Federal Government.
