COMMENCING IN ILLEGALITY

New Acting CJN has committed an offence under the Code of Conduct Act byAkpomiemie AkpomiemieThe new Acting CJN has proceeded in error and illegality.

Has Acting CJN complied with section 290 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria( as amended)?For avoidance of doubt, section 290 provides thus:-

"290. (1) A person appointed to any judicial office shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed under this Constitution and has subsequently taken and subscribed the Oath of Allegiance and the Judicial Oath prescribed in the seventh Schedule to this Constitution.

"While Tanko has taken oath of office, he has not declared his assets as required by section 290 of the constitution, yet he has performed a function of the office he occupies.

Failure to declare his assets and liabilities in accordance with the law is misconduct. At least that is the offence Justice Onoghen is facing before the CCT.

Who now bells the cat?
