The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Tuesday discharged a
Supreme Court judge, Sylvester Ngwuta, of charges of false
declaration of assets preferred against him by the federal
government.
Danjuma Umar, chairman of the tribunal who presided over
the case, held that the petition brought against Mr Nguta was
incompetent.
He said only the National Judicial Council (NJC) reserved the
right to discipline a serving judge.
Mr Umar further said the federal government over-reached
itself by not waiting for the NJC to first take a decision on the
respondent’s alleged misconduct before bringing him to the
tribunal.
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami,
alleged that Mr Ngwuta contravened Section 15 of the Code of
Conduct Bureau and the Tribunal Act punishable under Section
23 (2) of the Act.
Mr Ngwuta is one of the federal judges whose residences
were raided in October 2016 by the State Security Service
(SSS) where large sums of money were found in the process.

Mr Ngwuta is also standing trial at the Federal High Court,
Abuja on an allegation of money laundering in respect to that
raid.

I shudder at the thought process of buharideens...


they say PMB follows rule of law, as soon as the tyrant breaks the law, the buharideens say 'they don't care about the law as long as buhari is the one breaking it'.


you cannot support PMB & have a conscience...
