President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie is now celebrating suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen’s conviction by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, (CCT)
In a tweet, Onochie wrote: “BREAKING NEWS. Onnoghen convicted. Banned from holding Public office for TEN Years. One down, Many to go! Ma Su Gudu Su Gudu.”
In his judgment over alleged non-asset declaration against Onnoghen, the Chairman of CCT, Danladi Umar also removed Onnoghen from office as the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman, National Judicial Council (NJC).
Umar ruled that all Onnoghen’s monies deposited in his Standard Chartered Bank account in Wuse 2, Abuja be confiscated, seized and forfeited.
The CCT Chairman held that the monies in the affected five bank accounts were acquired illegally particularly as Onnoghen could not prove his source of income for the seized monies beyond all reasonable doubts.
