No, he admitted to not declaring when he was supposed to not like he didn’t declare later when he became aware and stated EVERYTHING in the new forms as far back as 2016.

It’s why there are two forms, one covering the period he forgot and the second covering a period till he retires.

The govt was just banking on him resigning

I thought he was not permitted to speak to the press. So when did he make such admission?

The last a checked the supposed admission was made before his case began.

See the way Buhari FG is disgracing itself on this trial so far.

@Buharists, come and see o. The so called "foreign" accounts that the CJN alledgedly had are just domiciliary account and the so called dollars he has are loans gotten from a bank with his investments in shares and govt bonds as guarantees.

Ok o.....

The noisemakers and hypocrites couldn't allow us to rest saying government did the right thing by hastily removing Onnoghen.Integrity is not victimization and segregation,it is simply equity and justice inspite of personal interest and emotional dictates.

it's not about what he declared, it's about what he didn't declare. He can declare 5 houses, but what stops him from owning 10 more that are not captured.in his assets declaration form?
How did you get to know he has others that were not declared? Keeping supporting evil until evil finds you.

A retired Director at the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Mr Awal Yakassai, on Thursday, testified as for the second prosecution witness, PW-2, in the ongoing trial of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who is facing trial over his alleged failure to declare his assets.


Yakassai told the Mr Danladi Umar led a three-man panel of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, that contrary to what was alleged in the media, he said the suspended CJN owned only five houses.

He said it was not true that CCB investigators linked the ownership of 55 houses to the defendant.

The witness made the disclosure after he was shown copies of Justice Onnoghen’s asset declaration forms, which the Federal Government tendered in evidence before the CCT.

The embattled CJN was said to have submitted the forms marked as Exhibit 2 and 3, to the CCB in 2014 and 2015.

Answering questions under cross-examination, the PW-2, told the tribunal that he served at the CCB for 29 years before he retired in April 2018.

He said the CCB was yet to verify Justice Onnoghen’s assets with a view to finding out if he made false declarations

Holding the two documents in his hand while responding to a question from Onnoghen’s lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, the witness said: “My lord, according to exhibit 2 and 3, the defendant has only five buildings and not 55”.

Awomolo noted that one of the five buildings was given to the defendant by the federal government itself.

Continuing his testimony, the witness, told the tribunal that verification columns on Onnoghen’s two asset declaration forms were still empty.

He said: “As indicated here, the column for verified assets have not been signed as at today” he added, saying it was standard practice at the CCB that returned asset declaration forms must pass through three stages of verification.

“My lord we have three stages of verification, the first is at the time of submission of forms, the second is what we called conference verification whereby we invite the person. And the third is physical verification of the assets.

“Until these three stages are completed, we cannot say that the assets have been verified”.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the CCB, Danladi Umar, had earlier threatened to give 28 years jail term to journalists that misrepresent proceedings on the CJN’s trial,

Umar, who said he was displeased about “the distortion and misrepresentation” of what transpired at the tribunal last Monday by a section of the media, warned that he would henceforth wield his powers against journalists.

“Henceforth, any journalist carrying concocted or discredited statement which is not adduced before this tribunal, I will not hesitate to bring the full weight of the law heavily on the person.

“The journalist will languish there and may remain there (in prison) until I retire about 28 years from now.

“The person will be summarily sent to prison because that is contempt.

“It does not matter whether the contempt is committed in facie curiae (before the court) or ex facie curiae (outside the court)”, he fumed.

The CCT boss has given FG’s lawyer, Mr Aliyu Umar, the nod to call a second witness to give evidence against the suspended CJN who is answering to a six-count charge.

Aside allegation that he failed to declare his assets as prescribed by the law, FG had in the charge marked CCT/ABJ/01/19, FG, alleged that Onnoghen operated five foreign bank accounts, contrary to section 15(2) of Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.

FG had insisted that it was the CCB that okayed Onnoghen’s trial based on certain infractions that were discovered in his asset declaration forms.

The Bureau De Change ex-CJN has been sacked and very soon, he will be jailed. He admitted that he "forgot" to declare substantial parts of his assets. After he is jailed, you can then go and be visiting him in Kirikiri prison.

Forgetting any part of ur assets while declaring ur total assets is not a crime in Nigeria or in any part of the world.

And this other allegation by FG that the CJN has 5 foreig accounts was also nonsensed by PW-3, the other prosecution witness, who said that those accounts are domiciliary accounts opened in Abuja.

These are the Govts own prosecution witnesses o. And the Govt could only call 3 witnesses all of whom contradicted all what the FG were using to prosecte the CJN both in court and in the media.

You remove a sitting CJN and violently violate the 3rd arm of Govt based on the flimsy excuse ever- just cos of elections. And guess what, after the CJN is acquitted nothing will be done to all the persona involved in this disgraceful episode.

Buhari is the worst President this country has ever had.
