Suspended Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, has finally arrived the Code of Conduct Tribunal for
his arraignment.
His arrival is in
compliance with the warrant of arrest issued against him on Wednesday by the
Danladi Umar-led tribunal over an allegation of non-assets declaration that
culminated in his suspension by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Onnoghen who was suspended
by President Buhari on January 25th, is being arraigned over his alleged false
declaration of assets.
Since the beginning of his
trial, Onnoghen has refused to appear before the CCT on grounds that the
tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear his case.
DAILY POST reports that
Onnoghen is now in the premises of the tribunal but has not yet alighted from
his official Prado SUV.
Security arrangement has
been beefed up around the premises as Onnoghen is possibly awaiting the
commencement of the tribunal before stepping out of the vehicle.
