Justice Walter Onnoghen,
the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has lost the appeal he filed against
his conviction by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for false asset charges.
On Friday, the Court of
Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by the ex-CJN challenging the legality of the
exparte order by the CCT that led to his suspension.
Recall that the chairman of
the tribunal, Danladi Umar, had also refused to recuse himself from the matter
on allegation of bias by Onnoghen.
Walter Onnoghen was
convicted and suspended from holding any public office for 10 years by the Code
of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) last month. Onnoghen was removed from office as the
Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The ruling which took
place, April 19, also directed that all money belonging to Onnoghen in the
account will be seized and fortified to the Federal Government. This is due to
the fact that he failed to prove to the tribunal how he acquired the monies in
the account.
The five accounts which the
defendant failed to declare as part of his assets have been ordered by the
tribunal to be forfeited.
