NJC Dismisses Onnoghen Assets Declaration Petition by KEVIND(op): 10:17pm On Apr 03, 2019
The National Judicial Council (NJC) Wednesday dismissed the allegations of false and non-declaration of assets brought against the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
In a statement by the Director of Information, NJC, Soji Oye, the council described the allegations relating to assets declaration levelled against Justice Onnoghen as subjudice and consequently, abstained from considering them.

The decision was reached at the NJC emergency meeting convened to consider the report of the five-man committee constituted to investigate the allegations of misconduct made against Justice Onnoghen and the Acting CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad.

The Council also said to have reached a decision on the petitions written by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against Justice Onnoghen.

While the council has conveyed its decision to President Muhammadu Buhari, it has however resolved that considering the nature of the decision reached, it would be inappropriate to make it public before conveying it to Buhari.

Thus, it is not certain what the Council has emerged with on the said petitions.

One Dennis Aghanya had petitioned the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) earlier in the year, alleging that Justice Onnoghen breached the public service rule by failing to declare some of his assets as stipulated by law.

There are two different cases, EFCC and CCT.
The only reason they abstained from the CCT case is because it is currently being litigated.

Njc should have disclosed their decision to we the citizens of our dear country nigeria rather than handing it over to president buhari, since buhari is the major brain behind the allegations leveled against the cjn.you don't hand an accused over to his accuser.

From the tone of the NJC I see they are looking for a soft landing for Buhari

It is obvious they have dismissed the petition and ask for reinstatement of Onneghen.

Exactly. They're trying to make it look like Buhari was not wrong and Onneghen wasn't wrong too
Which may not even be possible

Buhari has no power to decide a soft landing for Onnoghen since he has my done anything in the first place

Onnoghen will never return as the CJN. Those who advised him that he could confront the GCFR are his real enemies. At the end, he may lose his pension and also end up in the same cell with dasuki. EFCC has not even started with him.

No, buhari is a tyrant and won't obey NJC cos he has already declared Onneghen guilty. No adult Nigerian old enuff that doesn't understand we have a monster at hand.

Restore him instead of forcing his retirement
Re: NJC Dismisses Onnoghen Assets Declaration Petition by Mace0lane: 3:20am On Apr 04, 2019
I just want to thank God your wail can’t stop his trial. He should prove his innocence like every Nigerian, in a situation where he’s not able to, he should rot in jail.

No..... on the other hand they absolved Justice Tanko Muhammed of committing any crime and recommended the compulsory retirement of Justice Onnoghen.
