2019: Onnoghen Fate to be decided today by Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal, will today, Friday, deliver judgement on four separate appeals lodged by the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
The Embattled Onnoghen approached the appellate court challenging his trial and conviction by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, in Abuja.
The retired CJN is in one of the appeals, contending that the CCT lacked the powers to assume jurisdiction to try a serving judicial officer over alleged misconduct.
He maintained that the tribunal erred in law when it held that the preliminary objection he filed to challenge the competence of the charge, would be heard alongside the motion FG filed to remove him as CJN.
