Court Stops Justice Onnoghen’s Arraignment

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Monday, halted plans by the Federal Government to dock the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, over his alleged non declaration of assets.

The court, in a ruling that was delivered by Justice Evelyn Maha, restrained FG from going ahead with the planned arraignment, following two ex-parte applications that were moved by two separate groups.
