The case against Onnoghen if we are to believe the media onslaught is becoming watering. He seems to have iron cast alibi for all the accusations.

Yet something does not seem right. First of all, he suspended the meeting of the NJC indefinitely, the meeting was not even going to be primarily about him but a routine meeting that could probably, I mean probably had have a look at the allegations against him and act on it based on the merit of the allegation. Yet he did not just postpone the meeting to another day, instead he postponed the meeting indefinitely.

Then rather than show up at the tribunal, he deploy all the techniques we have come to associate with politicians, people like Melaye, Metuh and FFK. He even went as far as saying he could not come to court because of tooth ache. Then when the case finally starts he seems to suddenly have a defence for all the allegations. Something just does not add up.

Now I am thinking, it is possible the man really has skeleton in his cupboard that he thought the FG had discovered and so he was reacting to that only to discover that all that the FG had was the far lesser charge that he could explain. I am likening it to when a parent shouts the name of his kids in a manner that suggest that the parents has discovered he bashed his car, and the child comes to the presence of his parents ready to beg for forgiveness only for the parents to be angry that the sitting room is not well arranged. Although not arranging the sitting room in this context may be considered an offence, but it will be an offence the child will gladly accept than the more serious offence of having dented the family car.

I think the FG were probably very close to discovering something about Onnoghen which he initially thought was what they had on him otherwise this whole process makes no sense.

If Buhari's WAEC certificate is authentic, why is hiring SANs to defend him?

There's humiliation in him walking this path. That's what he wanted to avoid. Imagine him being docked. He is taking the path finally, and he will most certainly laugh last.

I know you still won't get it because your brain is "remote controlled" from an APC zombie server, but las las, you go dey alright.

I know you are in serious pains in because things are not working the way you want it to be concerning this case, I were you not aware that he was offered a deal by the presidency to retire with full benefits and the case will be dropped. But he insisted that he wants a full trial, why do you people derive so much joy in bringing people down, there are enough within your camp, APC to bring Down, what has happened to the case of former SFG, the case came a week to elections are now PMB has won I believe that is the end of that case.

I would want you to write an article for all the corrupt politicians in APC to tried and sent to jail after which you can then come to others if not keep your one sided article to yourself

Just go along, get arrested and suffer the ignominy of harsh, unlawful arrest where you'll be forced to part with ur hard earned funds just to secure your release despite ur possible innocence.

If you had asked pertinent questions at the beginning of the case you would have see it was a witch hunt eg why all the rush? Even though we know nothing is ever rushed in Nigeria except witch hunting oppositions.
Next time don't be so gullible.
Imagine you are following the case with ur son, you would mislead him totally

First you don't know what an office mean. What you see is a man but what the law and those whom you think were trying to frustrate the government saw was the sit where the man was sitting.

They tried to prevent a humiliation of the sit of the CJN. What you people applaud today will be what other will use to destroy this nation.

The law always make references to support their point of view. In respect to humiliating the sit of the CJN, the have seen one.

From the responses you have gotten it is clear that we are in serious trouble with the kind of youth we have in this country.

The case against Onnoghen is and has always been simple, he disobeyed the law by refusing to declare all his assets.

He himself has admitted to it and called it a mistake/oversight. It is up to the courts to determine if his admission of guilt and voluntary correction of it follows what the law has stated. Simple.

However the idiot did all the things you said to stop this from happening and delay justice thinking himself bigger than the Law that he serves and all normal Nigerians.

He by disregarding all his prior rulings on the CCT has shown us that following the Law is for the little people and clearly that some animals are more equal than others.


I might not like Adeleke, but even with his lack of education and zero reasons to believe in our judicial system when it comes to electoral matters and ruling against a sitting government, he has every single time subjected himself peacefully into the arms of the law and won every single time. ( I believe it is about 4-0 now)


The main casualty of this whole case has been the Judiciary and even if he is found innocent and the NJC fails to tell him to retire , our Judiciary will continue dying a slow and pathetic death with this Do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do running things.

Far from your illusion. I stand with due process any time any day. I am against media trial and slander because I have been a victim and I have seen many destroyed by it.

Olodo he won't resign! If he is found innocent, he'd go back to his seat as the CJN with full benefits restored.

So this was you people's plan all along! They even offered him honorable retirement with full benefits for him not to see the case through court but he refused. Now he'd win like he should because he is innocent then he'd resign to please your father and massage your ego abi?

To educate you free of any charge, if a public officer fills an asset declaration form and submits, and upon investigation it is discovered that he had left out some aspects of his assets in the declaration, the law stipulates that the authorities calls his attention to it and an extra form is given to him to capture what he missed out.

If he refuses to update this may be claiming not to be linked to the assets uncovered, then the authorities have every right to bring a case against him on the backdrop that they are sure the undeclared assets belong to him.

Now was this process followed? The assets so far declared we're not even verified to ascertain they were his, but rather the authorities were cooking up fresh assets alledgedly linked to the CJN.

We may be partisan in our dealings depending on our individual interest, but we must bear in mind that there would always be consequences of any action we take.

Your assertion is based on gross ignorance.

The entire moves by the FG and CCT were to humiliate the man CONTRARY to the rule of law.

The man's initial refusal to succumb to their harassment was TO PROTECT THE RULE OF LAW.

Everything the FG and CCT have done in this case was illegal. You guys are merely cheering illegality and lawlessness.

For example, the CCT was supposed to rule on the suit that questions its jurisdiction vo hear this case BEFORE commencing the trial, if it eventually,rules that it has jurisdiction. But what did the CCT do, it decided that it will rule on its jurisdiction after the trial.

Is that not pure madness?

By the way, per your bolded assertion below, the CCT is not part of the "Judicial System". It is actually part of the Executive Arm. That's the reason its jurisdiction to try a sitting CJN was called to question. And since there's no legal means to impose their authority, they retorted to suspending the CJN unconstitutionally and used the federal security agencies to force his compliance. This is wrong and illegal on all fronts.

Apparently, we were not too far from the truth.

The National Judicial Commission (NJC) has recommended Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), for compulsory retirement, TheCable understands.

After deliberating on the petition filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, members of the NJC unanimously agreed that Onnoghen has lost the moral authority to continue as CJN with the litany of allegations bordering on misconduct.

The NJC — which handles disciplinary issues of judicial officers — sat under the interim leadership of Umaru Abdullahi, former president of the court of appeal, who had to act because Onnoghen was already under suspension.

The council also concluded that Tanko Muhammad did not commit any offence by making himself available to be sworn in as acting CJN without the recommendation of the NJC.

These recommendations have been passed to President Muhammadu Buhari for approval, Soji Oye, the council’s director of information, informed the media on Wednesday, although he did not make the details public.
