The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has adjourned four appeals filed by Walter Onnoghen, the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), over his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), as well as the tribunal’s order for his suspension.

Onnoghen is standing trial before the CCT over allegations of fraudulent declaration of assets.

This is the third time the appeals have been adjourned.

At an earlier sitting on February 12, 2019, the case was adjourned as the three-man panel led by Justice Abdul Aboki did not form a quorum.

At another sitting on February 15, 2019, Oyin Koleosho, counsel to the Nigerian government, applied for an adjournment to allow Onnoghen’s prosecutor the opportunity to take charge of the case, in line with a directive by Abubakar Malami (SAN), the Attorney-General of the Federation. The request for adjournment was granted till Wednesday, February 20, 2019.

However, at the resumed sitting on Wednesday, Umar asked for another adjournment for amendment of various parts of the papers filed by the lawyers from the Federal Ministry of Justice, as well as a response to a fourth appeal.

The appeals bordered on jurisdiction of the CCT to hear the case, the legality of the ex parte order upon which Onnoghen was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari, the refusal of the CCT on the rulings by the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court to halt the trial, and the warrant issued for the suspended CJN’s arrest. Although, the CCT has withdrawn the warrant for his arrest as Onnoghen appeared before the Tribunal on February 15, 2019.

The appeals were adjourned till February 27 for hearing.

Again?

Any which ever way the verdict goes. What's certain is that BUHARI shall be sent to his herd of cows by weekend. Insha Allah!!

...and someone will come and tell me we have rule of law and democracy in Nigeria. We really need to be recolonized again and again.
Nigeria is is is.....infact, a Cartoon Network.

Onnoghen should be tried and prosecute as soon as possible.

Politics aside, whoever the catches up with should serve the punishment

Onnoghen going, going, gone

They will keep adjourning the case. That guy will never smell that office ever again. And all the criminals that were trying to defend him have given up.

Make this judgement fast and Put this thief in jail ALREADY abeg!

Let him name names that will go down with him fast, as he has threatened!

A corrupt judiciary is the same as 1000 armed robbers.....even worse!

The travails of a man who rode on high horses equipped with the instrument of justice in a society that has little love for truth.

How did it happen that he is being served with the same tricks that he has mastered and used endlessly?

How are the mighty fallen!

This one got me cracking...

Onnoghen is finished. Baba for the boys. PMB till 2023.
Nonsense PDP.

Buhari no go escape Jail after May 29 I'm very sure of that

This thieving and corrupt judge should be ashamed of himself.

This man is just using court as a delay tactics.. What's he's truly waiting for is election... if Buhari wins, he's gonna resign but if thief wins, he's gonna stay put

So he is a "thief" even before the courts have passed their judgment??

You see why zombiism is a disease??
Nwoke m, he's innocent until proven guilty, though I'm not surprised by your brainless rants!
Like master, like followers

Until then
