He disclosed this in a notice of appeal on Friday shortly after the Tribunal held that Justice Onnoghen has a case to answer in his trial over alleged non-declaration of assets.

The CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar, had insisted that the judge must enter his defence on Monday next week, despite pleas to adjourn the case.


Dissatisfied with the ruling, Justice Onnoghen resolved to challenge the decision of the Tribunal at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

He listed the “Federal Republic of Nigeria” as the sole defendant in the proposed appeal.

The judge stated that the CCT erred in law when it dismissed his no-case submission by its alleged failure to appreciate his submission that the processes that led to the criminal proceeding against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) violated the provision of the law

He added that the CCB, as a creation of the Constitution, was bound by all law made for the due process of the exercise of its powers under the law.

According to Justice Onnoghen, the members of the Tribunal erred in law when they overruled his no-case submission “when there is uncontroverted evidence” before it that there was no lawful investigation into the allegations against him.

He also claimed that the Tribunal erred in law when it dismissed his submission and refused to consider that the elements of the offence he was alleged to have committed were not proved by any legally acceptable evidence.

The suspended CJN insisted that the totality of the evidence was “hearsay”.

Authentic CJN is leading so far

Even when three was no evidence...Umar is hell bent!

Umar is acting his sponsors script

Umar is a disgrace to the law profession.

You can imagine when a Judge is telling you that the law and the process of applying it is faulty and so the defendant should not expect him to follow it. Indirectly what Danladi is telling us is that they are laws to themselves and choose which part to obey or discard. He is now superior to our law and its process.
I thought judges do draw their judgment base on evidence before them and not on their own assumptions.
How can you term a disregard to the lay down laws as a mere communication flaw? Where in the court proceedings was that prayed for? Or even argued on or mentioned?
Danladi nothing lasts forever.
You don't guide the law, the law guides you.

See defenders of corruption above. Nigeria is rotten.

Lost

Onnoghen go and open your defense. Stop looking for technicalities here and there. You say you are innocent then open your defense

The arrogant Danladi Umar has a lot to learn from those who have had more years of experience in the field.


Onnoghen will come off victorious in this deliberate witch-hunt by the FG. But will he retain his position as the CJN remains to be seen.

He may not even need the position again. He may just be fighting to clear his name and keep his reputation.

True.
