FG Asks Court To Remove Onnoghen As CJN, NJC Chairman by gdonj1(m): 1:22am On Jan 19, 2019
The Federal Government has filed a motion before the Code of Conduct Tribunal , asking for the removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Walter Onnoghen, be removed as the CJN and the chairman of the National Judicial Council .
According to documents obtained by
Saturday Punch, the motion was filed by Musa Ibrahim and Fatima Danjuma Ali on behalf of the Attorney - General of the Federation on Thursday.
The move , according to the government , is aimed at ensuring that Onnoghen is not a judge in his case and that the next in line of seniority, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad , becomes the acting CJN pending the determination of the substantive suit .
The plaintiff asked the court to compel President Muhammadu Buhari to name the next most senior judge as the acting CJN and chairman of the NJC .
The motion on notice was brought in pursuance of Section 6 ( 6) Paragraph 11 ( 1 ) of the Fifth Schedule , Part 1 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 ( as amended ) .
The Federal Government prayed the tribunal for an interlocutory order “ directing the defendant/respondent to step aside as the Chief Justice of Nigeria and chairman of the National Judicial Council over an allegation of contravening the provision of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act CAP C 15 Laws of the federation of Nigeria 2004 pending the determination of the case .
“ An interlocutory order of the honourable tribunal directing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to take all necessary measures to swear in the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court as an acting Chief Justice and chairman of the National Judicial Council in order to prevent a vacuum in the judicial arm of government pending the determination of the case . ”
Born on December 31, 1953 at Doguwa – Giade , a local government area in Bauchi State , Justice Muhammad attended Ahmadu Bello University where he received a bachelor ’ s degree in Law in 1980 .
He later obtained a master ’ s degree and doctorate from the same university in 1984 and 1998 respectively .
The fresh move against Onnoghen came after the National Industrial Court , Abuja , had on Monday restrained the Chairman of the CCT , Danladi Umar , the AGF , the Code of Conduct Bureau and the police from removing Onnoghen.
This was pursuant to a motion ex -parte filed by a lawyer , Mr Peter Abang .

Buhari and APC will only keep disgracing themselves and their zombie followers with this CJN matter

The desperation of this APC govt is becoming a national disgrace. How on earth can a CCT which at best equals in strength with FHC be requested to give an order to remove d CJN. The whole in all these is to have a pliable CJN who will be able to oversee d nomination of Appeal Court members that will give a compromised verdict when d President is defeated at d polls. Now that their last joker of go to America has been demystified by Atiku the cabals have decided to go for d jugular of d judiciary. The table they are shaking could consume them all

The CCT is not even of equal jurisdiction with the FHC.Its an inferior court of record.

A quick Google search would have saved pigs from celebrating ignorance.
CCT has judicial and prosecutorial powers to determine any matters, including criminal matters brought before it, as would a "court". It is neither an appellate nor under the supervision of FHC, but of equal jurisdiction.
Asking the CCT to order the President's sacking of the CJN is in perfect order. It's therefore both legally and morally wrong for the chairman of CCT be answerable to the CJN while under prosecution of his own case.

It's pointless arguing with pigs.

Don't worry continue making noise.Another higher court will take care of it before the suit are even heard.

Pele dear.But face the fact.Justice Onnoggen will retire in office as CJN.There is nothing the APC can do about it.You can only manipulate the CCT not the higher courts.So this case is as good as going no where.
