How can a government agency go through someone's financial history and goes ahead to leak it to the press without carrying out any investigations!!!?

It is not a crime to deposit money in bank.It is not a crime to invest your money.It is not a crime to legitimately acquire FG's property.

Justice Onnogen will remain the CJN whether the APC likes it or not

I got confused mid way.

Those are just financial history of his account.He declared the balance in the account in 2016.These fools just dug up the account starements over the years and gave it to the media for blackmail

The nation newspaper is own by tinubu and tinubu is APC leader.

The CJN of Nigeria will fight this case to the last because his over 30+ years work in the civil service can not be rubbish by a 4year single term President.


But you should also agree that sentiments aside or APC hunt.........

Where and how did he come across such personal funds? Wages, dividends from investments or corruption in the judiciary?.....

The EFCC is just a rabid dog. Investigate, prosecute, if they have a valid case, they can take it up and the judiciary seeing the hard evidence will prosecute him regardless. But always on the media, shameless organization

Detectives may have found more “suspicious” funds in Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen’s accounts, The Nation has learnt.

There are also “suspicious” transactions, including an $800,000 Standard Chartered Bank investment subscription, sources said.

Also found is $630,000 lodged in some of the accounts through what is described as “structured payments” in tranches of $10,000 each.

Most of the lodgments, effected between 2012 and 2016, were undeclared in Justice Onnoghen’s assets declaration form, the sources claimed, pleading not to be named because of the “sensitivity” of the investigation.

The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has restricted the operation of five accounts with about $3million

The accounts in the Standard Chartered Bank are USD No. 870001062650; Euro account No. 93001062686; Pound Sterling A/CNo. 285001062679; e-Saver Savings (Naira) account No. 5001062693; and a Naira A/C No. 0001062667.

Detectives believe that most of the lodgments and transactions are “suspicious”.

The Nation has stumbled on an intelligence report on the CJN’s accounts, which reads in part: “Pattern of structured payments of $10,000.00 each in 2012. For example, a total of $630,000.00 was credited to the accounts using this pattern.

”Similarly structured payments of $10,000.00 amounting to $297,800.00, $50,000.00 and $36,000.00 were deposited in the account in 2013, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

“There was also a credit of $121,116.00 into the account from 2014 to 2016 from Life Friend Plc. The payments were in four installments, of $30,279.00 each. These payments suggest the suspect has investments.

“ A payment at $482,966.00 from Alicia Redemption Pro and shortly after, $800,000.00 was invested in SCB Investment subscription. We are in the process of verifying these transactions;

“Other suspicious transactions in the account are credit of $19,764.00 from Pur of Noble and seven (7) payments of $3,250.00, each amounting to $22,750.00 from Lloyds TSB.

On the pound sterling (GBP), the investigative team discovered “a self- transfer of £40,268.40 into the account on May 31 2016.”

“There were also self-deposits by the suspect of £49,760.00 from July 2015 to September, 2016

but the balance as at September 30, 2016 was £108,348.00,” the report added.

Regarding the Naira account, the report said: “The following highlights some of the suspicious activities in the account: A transfer of N41,262.000.00 ($260,000) was made from the dollar account. The money was used to make payment of N41million to Ad hoc Committee on the Sale of Federal Government Houses, suggesting that he bought a property with proceeds of the transfer;

“The only other significant transactions in the accounts are six (6) structured cash payments of N500,000.00 each and one payment of N700,000.00 amounting to N3.7mlllion from November, 2013 to August, 2016.

All the transactions, sources said, are being investigated whether or not they violated the “Revised Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” which was put in place by the National Judicial Council.

Sections 7 and 13(4and5) of the Code of Conduct deal with financial interests.

Section 7 reads: “7.1 A Judge shall inform himself or herself about his or her personal and fiduciary financial interests and shall make reasonable efforts to be informed about the financial interests of members of the Judge’s family in respect of matters for adjudication before him.

“7.2 If it appears in respect of a matter before him or her, that the Judge, or a member of the Judge’s family or other person in respect of which the Judge is in a fiduciary relationship, is likely to benefit financially, the Judge has no alternative but to withdraw from the case.

“7.3 For the purpose of this rule, “Financial interest” includes ownership of a legal or equitable interest, however small, or a relationship as director, advisor, or other active participants in the affairs of an institution or organization. The following are not to be regarded as financial interests:

The proprietary interest of a policy holder in a mutual insurance company, unless the outcome of any proceeding could substantially affect the value of the interest.

Ownership of government securities unless if the outcome of any proceeding could substantially affect the value of the security.

“For the purpose of the Rules contained in this Code –

(a) “fiduciary” includes such relationships as executor, administrator, trustee and guardian;

(b) “financial interest” means ownership in a substantial manner of a legal or equitable interest, or a relationship as director, adviser or other active participation in the affairs of a party except that:

(i) ownership in a mutual or common investment fund which holds securities, unless the Judicial Officer participates in the management of the fund;

(ii) an officer in an educational, religious, charitable or civil organization is not a “financial interest” in securities held by the organization;

(iii) the proprietary interest of a policy holder in a mutual savings’ society or similar proprietary interest, is a “financial interest” in the organization only if the outcome of the proceedings could substantially affect the value of the interest; and

(iv) ownership of government securities is a “financial interest” in the issues only if the outcome of the proceedings could substantially affect the value of the securities.”

Section 13.4 and 5 deal with Business and Financial Activities of judges.

Section 13. 4 says: (i) A Judicial Officer may own investments and real property PROVIDED that in the management of his investments, he shall not serve as an officer, director, manager, general partner, adviser or employee of any business entity.

(ii) Otherwise permissible investment or business activities are prohibited if they:

(a) Tend to reflect adversely on judicial impartiality,

(b) Interfere with the proper performance of judicial duties,

(c) Exploit the judicial position; or

(d) Involve the Judicial Officer in frequent transactions with legal practitioners or with people likely to come before the Judicial Officer’s court.

13.5 Acceptance of Gifts

A Judicial Officer and members of his family shall neither ask for nor accept any gift, bequest, favour or loan on account of anything done or omitted to be done by him in the discharge of his duties.

A Judicial Officer is, however, permitted to accept:

(i) Personal gifts or benefits from relatives or personal friends to such extent and on such occasions as are recognized by custom.

(ii) Books supplied by publishers on a complimentary basis.

(iii) A loan from lending institution in its regular course of business on the same terms generally available to people who are not Judicial Officers;

(iv) A scholarship or fellowship awarded on the same terms applied to other applicants.”

All this mumu investigators why not conclude your investigations before going to the media.There is nothing wrong with the CJN having investments.In fact judges are supposed to invest so as not to fall to temptation by accepting bribes.

All this media trial is hogwash.If you think you have a smoking gun then take it to the NJC.

People will just come online and type nonsense, feeling like Wole Soyinka. For your information, Nigeria’s constitution forbids judges from having another business outside their profession.

Let's say the FG is right in prosecuting or beaming their search light on Onnoghen



How many people in this administration including Buhari and Osibanjo can laid their bank accounts open to be scrutinized?



They must come to equity with clean hands and melt this same treatment to friends and foes....


Then Nigerians will see their honesty and support them

Solely because the Government is useless.. Should they have full evidence on this man, follow the procedures and have him prosecuted. Why the media trial? So they were investigating when they rush to CCB in an attempt to remove him quickly, who does that? If you have all the evidences and they're valid, even the man will prosecute himself. He'll be ashamed to challenge it in court. But all their interest is media trial.. How can the government be prosecuting someone in the media?

After the media trial and you go to court, why won't the government loose? Financial records are confidential records, you have access to them because you're security agency, yet you publish same in the media-how foolish! If he even sue the executive, including the EFCC, he will win outrightly for the leak which is indeed malicious. You do know that asset declaration are classified too? How come a third party, an NGO had access, it has to be via the govt.. That in itself is an evidence in court.. See if this case go to a regular court anywhere in the world, the government will loose and get fined heavily. The government is filled with useless and senseless people.

Typical example, the govt had evidence against Akpabio, they show the guy and he fell in line, they didn't publish it. If they did same to the CJN he'll step down quickly or get prosecuted, not media gibberish..


What a foolish set of individual the EFCC must be filled with. I know someone who was arrested by EFCC for cyber crime and was under investigation, the EFCC agent investigating read Business Admin and was asking what an IP is. Shame!

The media foreshore millions. what happened to it? Who owns it? You can't see over 20 million dollars that has no owner and the govt isn't entirely dumb not to know the owner, what of the airport millions, who owns it?

Even though I don't like buhari leadership style, but Judiciary cause Nigeria problem. If u still #1000, this people will give u 20yrs in jail but steal #2bilion, give them #500m, they will set u dress and ask u to pay a fine of #10000. If we have good judiciary, obanikori, omishore, fayose, akpabio, amechi, ibb, aregbe, tinubu, obj etc are suppose to spend the life in prison.
