Onnoghen’s Trial To Resume February 14
The Trial of the embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen will resume on February 14.
A statement by the CCT’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Ibraheem Al-Hassan, the CCT’s decision was sequel to a request by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for the resumption of trial.
The request, which is captioned: ‘Application for resumption of trial of the case of FRN V. Hon. Justice Onnoghen Nkanu Walter Samuel case No: CCT/ABJ/01/19’, and addressed to the Chairman of CCT read in part: “The above subject refers. This case came up for hearing of preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the Tribunal on the 28th of January 2019 but the Tribunal could not proceed due to the pendency of the case at the Court of Appeal.
“However, in the wake of this afternoon, 30th January, 2019 the Court of Appeal has thrown out the appeal.
“Consequently on the above, we urge the Honourable Tribunal to give us a date for resumption of the trial subject to the convenience of the Tribunal, Most obliged my Lord.”
The Chairman of the CCT, Justice Danladi Umar had adjourned indefinitely after a court halted Onnoghen’s trial.
However, on Wednesday, the Court of Appeal dismissed Onnoghen’s application asking the CJN to face trial at the CCT.
