CCT fixes Thursday for judgment in Onnoghen’s case
By Unini Chioma - Apr 15, 2019  0
The Code of Conduct Tribunal on Monday fixed April 18 to deliver its final judgment in the charges of false and non-declaration of assets instituted against Walter Onnoghen.
Mr Onnoghen, in a letter on April 4, notified President Muhammadu Buhari of his decision to vacate office as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
On Monday at the CCT, the three-member panel, led by Danladi Umar, fixed the date for judgment after the prosecution led by Aliyu Umar, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), and the defence, led by Okon Efut, adopted their final addresses.
During the proceedings, Mr Efut, in his final arguments, maintained that the prosecution failed to prove the six counts charge beyond reasonable doubt as required by law.
He, therefore, urged the tribunal to dismiss the case.
Mr Efut maintained that the statement made by Mr Onnoghen to the Code of Conduct Bureau was not confessional, as alleged by the prosecution.
“This case is about the declaration of assets and the first charge complains of non-declaration. The second to sixth counts complain of false declaration,” the lawyer said.
He argued that the charges are “contradictory and mutually exclusive.”
“The two cannot go together. We urge the court to dismiss all six counts,” the defence counsel argued.
He added that the charges were incompetent and unconstitutional as they were based on the provisions of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and Bureau Act which were in conflict with the relevant provisions of the Constitution.
The complainant had submitted that by the content in exhibit 6 (Mr Onnoghen’s statement to the CCB), the defendant is deemed to have confessed or admitted to the charge.
“That is incorrect in law, confession in law means admitting to all the essential elements of the charge,” he said, adding that there was nothing to signify that the defendant admitted to the charges.
“Section 11 of the Code of Conduct Tribunal Act, the section upon which the charges are premised, is unconstitutional.”
Mr Umar, the prosecutor, however, said the defence team was only attempting to redefine what constituted “proof beyond a reasonable doubt”.
He then urged the tribunal to hold that the prosecution indeed proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and “return a guilty verdict”.
In adjourning till Thursday for the final judgment, the tribunal chairman said the verdict would be delivered along with two pending rulings on Mr Onnoghen’s applications.
One of such application is that challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to hear the case.
The other application is asking the CCT chairman to disqualify himself from further presiding over the case for being allegedly bias.

Court Orders INEC To Prosecute Prof M.N. Umenweke For Declaring Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah As Winner Of Senatorial Seat In Anambra State
By Unini Chioma - Mar 28, 2019

A Federal High Court sitting in Awka, Anambra State has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prosecute the returning officer in the Anambra South senatorial election, Prof M.N. Umenweke, for declaring Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah winner of the election, Thisday reports
Ubah and Umenweke are facing criminal allegations levelled against them in the February 23 poll in the area by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chris Uba.
Uba had approached the court, praying for an order of mandamus compelling INEC to prosecute Ifeanyi Ubah of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and others allegedly involved in the disorderly conduct that took place on February 23, 2019 at the Nnewi North Local Government Area headquarters, Nnewi that led to the announcement of the result of the inconclusive election held on the same day.
Umenweke had raised alarm while declaring the election result, which was won by Ifeanyi Ubah, saying he was doing so under duress, but later recanted.
Justice I.B. Gafaia, while presiding over the court in an application of mandamus sought from the court by Chris Uba in suit number: FHC/AWK/CS/29/2019, asked INEC to within 14 days conduct investigation into the matter for the purpose of prosecuting the respondents.
The order read in part: “Upon the honourable court having delivered a considered judgement today, it hereby ordered as follows: The 1st respondent (INEC) shall within 14 days from today conduct or cause investigation into the criminal allegations of the applicant (Chris Uba).
“Prosecute, if the investigation result so warrants, the 3rd respondent (Ifeanyi Uba) and any other person(s) implicated in its investigation.
“Where it considers it inexpedient to prosecute through its legal officers, consider at its liberty, the appointment of the applicant’s solicitors in this suit for the purpose of such prosecution.”
Uba had also asked for “a further order of mandamus compelling the 1st respondent to prosecute the 2nd (Prof M.N. Umenweke) for announcing or publishing a false result to the effect that the 3rd respondent had won the election held on the said 23/2/2019 even when they both knew that the said election was inconclusive and from which no genuine result had thereby been generated.
“And order of mandamus compelling the 1st respondent to prosecute the 2nd respondent for the offence of delivering or causing to be delivered to the 3rd respondent a false declaration of result/return to the effect that he won the election to the Senate of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria to represent Anambra South Senatorial District in the Senate even as he knew that the said election was still inconclusive.
“Alternatively and where it be inexpedient or impossible for the 1st respondent to undertake the prosecution, an order of mandamus compelling her to issue out an authority to any counsel in the law firm of the applicant to undertake the prosecution on the 1st respondent’s behalf”.

I suppose you are a lawyer to know the Hon. Justice Olatoregun and I wish to say that it's not good to call names in the name of trying to create a joke, especially on a platform like Nairaland. Please be properly guided.

I'm still lost on the drive of your chastisement. I only stated a notorious fact. Is what I said a desecration of her Court? I look forward to your educating me on how my statement above amounted to a joke.

ehissi:
Justice Olatoregun should go and collect learners permit from Justice Abang in that regard.......

Justice Abang keeps lawyers on their toe at all times. I have appeared before him in Asaba and his Court was quite sober the day I appeared before him. His reputation must have made Lawyers in court to come prepared. And he's now here in Abuja with us, he now presides over Justice Dimgba's former court.
Olatoregun is a sound judge, but man... you don't want to make a mistake in her court or say something that doesn't sit right with her. She will tear you to shreds and leave your day in smithereens.

Mikkystorm:
Lol, we all should know the truth and be able to discern it from other things that are not morally right.
This is a jamb lesson for Goodness sake.
This story is two-sided. Firstly, why do you think the Lesson teacher treats her that way? Secondly, why is the blogger only attacking the teacher? Is the girl your sister?
The girl might be a recalcitrant, a pest, someone who comes to class to disrupt studies or lessons, yes there are girls like that.
Or
It might be a personal vendetta between themselves. Please, always get news right.

Assumption is the mother of all fvckups!!

If the scene in the post is actually from a JAMB lesson centre, then the teacher in question deserves all the backlash he is receiving. Provocation from the girl notwithstanding. We all cry yo high heavens when news of the police or army killing a person hits the news stand, but tacitly support acts of senseless brutality when we see them with comments like the one you just made.

Luwaluwa:
Here in Modakeke, Osun State,
We are also facing the same challenge here with chikun feed, we have lost over 1000 Birds as a result of using their feed. We even lodge complains to their reps to come and pack the rest of their feed, which is almost 500 bags. Till now, they have being posting us.

Loosing 1000 birds is an awful loss of revenue. Do a proximate analysis of the feed you have in stock. If you ran a post mortem that indicted the Chikun feed you have in stock, then you are likely to recoup the revenue you lost to their poorly formulated feed. Brief your lawyer and prepare to meet them in Court. 1000 birds is an estimated 2 million plus, no be moi moi as pidgin philosophers would say.

GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Some fine propositions by you, but most of the proposals herein are utopian and impracticable. I will respond to just paragraph a of proposal number 3.
First, you can't privatise all gov't parastatals. Let's take the Corporate Affairs Commission for example, who steps in to fill the vacuum created by a privatisation of the CAC? A private firm? How then do we balance the conflict of interest that's bound to arise in the event that your proposed privatisation is carried out? Again, who carries out the duties of parastatals like NERC, NAFDAC and other sector based regulators? How do you tackle the risk of conflict of interest associated with leaving such agencies at the hands of private corporate entities? A cursory look at my submissions would show that your argument on privatisation caves in upon itself at the slightest critical assessment.
Oh... on a lighter note and for the sake of a little banter, shey na your Baba be President and your party dey majority for legislature, make you reach out to them see whether them go try implement your point on emoluments.

This is even more confusing than doing a case before an angry Justice Olatoregun.

Zartech birds grow well. A cursory look at my comment would show that I acknowledged that.

I already know his personality can't pull that weight, hence, remaining the party name.

Gentleman, you're highly mistaken about Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah. I may not be his biggest fan, but man's got some fata$$ personality.

Prof. Umenweke is the classical bad ass Prof. He taught me Criminal Law and he doesn't fit the bill of someone that can easily be intimidated, but what do I know? I'm yet to find myself in one of those your life or your principles situations.

I guess something went wrong somewhere... MAYBE your vaccine was not administered properly. Of course I'm not defending them, but just saying I didn't experience such and people around also speak well of their chicks. Different experiences for different people...

The vaccine couldn't have played a role as I didn't administer vaccine until the 11th day. Recall I stated the birds were dropping brown poo at the time I picked them up. A picture of their poop at day 3 in my custody is affixed for your perusal. Sorry about the gross image.

Normally you should administer antibiotics, coccidiosis vaccine and multivits, at regular interval from DOC to 41 days before you have peace of mind... Well, I commented based on my experience, my stock mortality rate was less than 1% before I left it in the care of who mismanaged.

I did administer antibiotics and anti coccidiosis when I got them. I also resumed administration of antibiotics and anti cocci after gumboro, but those didn't stop the malaise.

ezkimow:
I suffered that coxx issue too,it was so serious that it affected their growth in the long run and led to secondary infections.
I noticed that the color of their droppings from day old were not same as previous birds I've raised despite using the same feed. but I Don finally sell them yesterday. Made no gain, and lost 8 out of 84.
At 5weeks 5days the total weight of 76 birds after dressing was 72kg

Same thing happened with the batch I got. They were already dropping red and ochre coloured poop by the time they arrived my place.
Sorry for your loss. Mine grew well, but the loss suffered within 5 days of getting the birds negatived any profit I made from the sales.

presiade:
I quite agree with you on their poor customer service... Especially their manager in charge of day-old chick production. However, I must say that the quality of their birds is quite good

My assertion that their birds are bad is predicated on the high mortality within a period of 5 days of getting their day old chicks and these mortalities were preceded by symptoms of coccidiosis. Pray tell, does a quality hatchery churn out birds with coccidiosis? Their birds grow fine, but the conditions under which their birds are hatched *MAY* not be the best in town. I got a carton of Cascada broilers from Turks and didn't lose a single bird while they were day olds.

bispope:
Hello good people, I have followed the thread quietly to learn from real great farmers. I am now strong to start my own. I stay in Anambra and have tried to book 50 birds (Zartech). Please, any extra info for new farmer like me will be appreciated.

I hope this isn't coming too late. Run away from Zartech birds. I'm yet to get over my experience with their birds. The birds grow fast, but risk of disease from the hatchery is sky high. You can try Agrited, Cascada or even Chikun (they also stock Cobb 500 strain like Zartech). Poor quality birds aside, Zartech has the nastiest customer complaint system. They only came down from their high horse the day I sent them a letter with my law firm letterhead.

What do u guys expect Osinbajo to do, to condemn his principal, those ipob pigs calling him boy boy are licking Atiku yansh now and has dropped thier Biafra struggle now, for the same boy boy position.


u know it is surprising that u all forgot that a CJN has unexplainable billions in his account which he himself has admit, but rather u all focus on legality/illegality of the suspension.

I am happy anyway, that PDP is the worst hit with this development, anything to wreck that useless party is welcome. They suspenders thier campaign because the main purpose of their campaign has been defeated,(they know they can't get people to vote them apart from the inconsequential 5% anyway), they are hoping on their CJN to get favourable judgment.

PDP die die die die

Some things go beyond pedestrian loyalty spurred by the paltry #30,000 you troglodytes in BMC are paid. Your principal spat on the Nigerian constitution and you accursed lot are defending the high crime against the constitution with stupid comments that further expose how Stockholm syndrome has shredded every sense of self worth in your hate filled and ignorant heads.
The PDP and the APC are national disasters that are hell bent on taking this country down. The ignorant IPOB doesn't pose half the danger that those twins from abyss pose to Nigeria's continued existence. I expect your pack of rabid APC dogs to start hurling insults and accusations my way. E no concern me.

Turks:
How old are they? What’s their current average weight?

They are 14 days old today. I haven't weighed them yet, hoping to do so this weekend.

Turks:
Thank you for your patronage sir.

Kindly update us on how things are going with the birds sir.

The birds are all doing fine. The only mortality I recorded was as a result of stampede in the enclosure I used for brooding. I administered Gumboro yesterday. I don't give them drugs, I use ginger, garlic and bitter leaf extract for their drug needs at the moment. The ginger and garlic are ever present in their water, while I've only administered bitterleaf extract twice.
I also mix dry crushed pawpaw leaf and bitterleaf in their feed.

ezkimow:
Just got another batch of 84 broilers yesterday evening, brand - Zartech...
Couldn't get Chikun. I just hope these performs just as well as the Chikun chicks...

I tried Zartech once and saw "nwii". I lost 7 birds within 8 days. I got the birds on the 22nd of October and started noticing brown/red droppings on the 24th of the same October.
I pray yours do well. Zartech birds grow well, they stock fast growing Cobbs, but I no do again. Currently raising a carton of Cascada birds I got from oga Turks. All 49 birds are healthy, the one that died succumbed to stress. I will upload a picture of them when I go to see them tomorrow.

I just saw a pic of a curious bird from the cascada batch I got from Turks. The birds were 5 days old in this shot.

If you claim that GEJ was clueless and still uses his style of leadership as a yardstick for Buhari's government, the joke is on you.

And Buratai was the army chief when Shias were massacred in Kaduna. So Gavelslam implicated Buhari in hus quest to blame Jonathan. That's not to say that Jonathan and other past leaders haven't overtly or covertly condoned extra judicial killings.

EMMAACHILE:
It could be coccidiosis or Newcastle (twisted neck) or even gumboro (broody stay).

When did you treat any of these?

I last administered lasota on the 30th of November. The last gumboro vaccine was given on the 9th of November. I haven't given anticocci in over a week.

I just noticed this dropping from the sick bird. Pardon my having to post something this gross here.

ezkimow:
I'm afraid you will have to give more information about their health -
*their age
*what their droppings look like
*are they active or dull
*do their feathers look ruffled
*do they stand alone for long periods of time without moving, eating or interacting with other chicks
*are they taking more of water than feed.... And anything you've observed so far

Pls attach clear pictures. Someone in the house should be able to help you in no time.

The birds are six weeks and 5 days old. Their droppings are clay coloured with white cap I noticed two green droppings last night, but I fed them pawpaw leaves so it could have influenced the colour of their droppings.
The ones I isolated are active, but I don't plan on reintroducing them to the flock since they came in contact with the two birds with twisted necks in the course of their isolation. The inactive bird doesn't feed that much, it also doesn't drink that much and it's loosing weight. It is always in a broody position.

Attached below are pictures of the inactive bird.

Good evening all, a number of my birds have been acting funny recently. Their wings droop and they walk with their wings spread apart like they are feeling hot. I first noticed the most recent case of droopy wings yesterday morning when I was cleaning their cage. I had to isolate two birds in the past due to NDV. I have administered lasota vaccine twice, the last dose was given this past Saturday.
Could the droopy wings be caused by NDV or some other disease is at play here? Thanks for the anticipated timely response.

Modified* The birds with droopy wings normally act lethargic at first and don't show any interest in feeding but start eating after a while. I isolate them the moment I notice the droopy wings.
