Suspended CJN, Onnoghen sues FG
Suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen has filed a suit against the federal government over his suspension. The suit was filed by his lawyers, Wole Olanipekun, Adegboyega Awomolo, Kanu Agabi and James Onoja.
Recall that Justice Onnoghen was suspended by the Federal Government last Friday January 25th on the order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
Onnoghen who assumed office as the 17th CJN in March 2017, has been accused of not declaring all his assets two years after coming into office.
A new acting CJN, Ibrahim Mohammed was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari’s suspension of Onnoghen had been generating serious criticism across the nation and beyond.
