The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, has adjourned indefinitely
further hearing on the non assets declaration charge filed against suspended
Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghe by the Federal Government.
At the resumed hearing of the case today, the chairman of
the Tribunal, Danladi Umar, said its decision to suspend Justice Onnoghen’s
trial was based on the order of the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
“Inview of the Court of Appeal order for stay of proceedings
and out of respect for the Court of Appeal, the tribunal hereby adjourn this
matter sine-die (indefinitely) pending the determination of the Appeal before
the Court of Appeal”, Mr. Umar ruled.
Only the CCT Chairman and the third member of the panel,
Mrs. Julie Amabo, attended the sitting.
