Justice Onneghen Was Recommended For Dismissal In 1994. by Biodun556(op): 11:24pm On Jan 27, 2019
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is facing the battle of his political carreer. He was one of the judges indicted for corruption and recommended for dismissal by the the Justice Kayode Eso Panel set up by the Sani Abacha military regime to probe incessant allegations of judicial corruption in 1994. Justice Onnoghen was then a judge in the Cross River State high court where he was accused of selling justice to the highest bidder. Luckily for Justice Onnoghen he had been promoted to the Court of Appeal when the implementation of the recommendation of the Eso Panel was carried out against only judges of high courts across the country.

You’re asking the wrong questions.
Go and ask from the CCT , why they ordered Buhari to suspend the former CJN and then install the present one .

It is obvious that the money in those links of account of the embattled CJN are no other money but that of "justices bought" tell me how on earth should a sitting member of the bench,(who is by priviledge a statutory officer), have in his possesions such kind of money lodged in illegal accounts. The constituition clearly spelt out backings as regards statutory officer so as not to compromise their stand while rendering act of stewardship, thier salaries and allowances are charges to the consolidated revenue fund, and there remuneration shall not be altered to their disadvantage, arent this enough to cater for the interest of a rational and steadfast officer?

The CJN of nepal and a senior judge in california whisked themselves out of office on cases bothering on false declaration of age and sexual harrasment scandal respectively.

My question goes thus, what is still keeping our very own CJN for close to three weeks now, having attested to the fact that he "forgot".

Not resigning in the first instance shows a grave "height of belittlement" portrayed by Nigerians as regards to the rule of law, (including the head of the most senior legal instituition in Nigeria where justices is suppose to be sought for)
other senior judges that had to resign their post abroad are not privy of the fact that their is rule of law in their country and they had no option than to harken accordingly

Bottomline:
The Judiciary, legislature and the executive arm are the problem we have in Nigeria, the other arms are a bit better (if there exist any other)

Onnoghen has 3M dollars in his accounts.

Is he receiving his salaries in dollars or what stupid excuse does the moustached thief want to give.

See the question this one is asking. See the kind of people supporting Atiku.

Wait, Salam of Ebonyi, is it that you are pretending to be ignorant or you're naturally ignorant?

SalamRushdie:

The embattled CJN gave a landmark judgement in 2013 that matters relating to the Code of Conduct should be handled by CCT, and it should be the highest court. Why is it that the same CJN that delivered a judgement is now running from CCT and trying to stop his own trial by all means?

What about that? shocked

You caught a serial pedophile raping a kid, you beat the shiit out of him before the police arrive....

Now, some idiots are saying you shouldn't have beaten him, that it's against the law (partially true) despite doing the society a big favour.

FORMER CJN is one of the pedophiles raping our treasury.

ANYONE who thinks Buhari is wrong to use whatever means necessary to bring down someone with an unexplained N1.08 billion has a serious mental problem

Will taking out Onnoghen benefit PMB? YES, most likely. But Onnoghen admitted to having $3million he conveniently forgot to declare since 2005
Re: Justice Onneghen Was Recommended For Dismissal In 1994. by Nobody: 5:47am On Jan 28, 2019
Thrash.... no even a single link to back up accusation.

We are now to believe Abacha who was a dictator over a court judge, zombies are really daft.

I have read many views about the whole saga. The best and most balanced one was that of Jiti Ogunye. In all of the opinions I have read, not a single one of them had any reason to say Onnoghen did not err. So, if he erred and decided to frustrate the right things to be done especially by postponing indefinitely the sitting of JCN, he should be allowed to carry on?
