Onnoghen: CCT to resume trial Feb 4
February 4, 2019, has been fixed for the resumption of trial of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Samuel Onnoghen.
The former CJN is standing trial over non-declaration of assets.
The tribunal had on Monday adjourned the trial indefinitely in view of an order of the Court of Appeal which asked it to suspend trial pending the determination of an application for stay of proceedings filed by the embattled CJN.
The Head of Press and Public Relations Unit of the tribunal, Ibraheem Al-Hassan, in a statement on Thursday said the decision to continue the trial followed the ruling of Court of Appeal on Wednesday dismissing the stay of proceedings as contained in a correspondent from the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
“The decision was reached today (Thursday) sequel to a correspondent from Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), applying for the resumption of trial of the case,” he said.
