BREAKING: CCT Begins Sitting In Onnoghen's Absence


The Code of Coduct Tribunal (CCT) has commenced hearing in the fraudulent asset declaration case instituted against Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), who is absent from court.


The prosecution expressed worry over the non-appearance of the defendant in the court, noting that he was duly  served the processes.


Wole Olanipekun (SAN), who led the defence counsel, told the court that they were at the tribunal not for the arraignment of the case but on protest. He asked the tribunal to uphold the integrity of the court.
