The Code of Conduct
Tribunal has commenced sitting at the resumed hearing of Justice Walter
Onnoghen’s trial for alleged non-declaration of assets.
The tribunal had on Friday
ruled that Justice Onnoghen has a case to answer.
Justice Onnoghen’s counsel,
Adegboyega Awomolo, raised concerns that the proceedings from Friday’s hearing
have not been made available to them.
He requested that a
witness, Miss Theresa Nwafor who work for the CCT should be subpoena to appear
as a witness for the CJN.
The witness is the Director
of the CCB in Benin.
Mr Awomolo also informed
the chairman that he ought to rule on his application before any other thing, a
position the prosecution counsel did not object to.
In his ruling, the chairman
of the tribunal granted the request and ordered her to be at the tribunal on
Wednesday by 10 am.
Meanwhile, a second witness
Lawal Busari had taken the witness stand on behalf of Justice Onnoghen.
