The tribunal made the decision after deciding that the application challenging its jurisdiction in the matter be reserved till the end of the hearing.
The tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, who presided over two other members of the bench on Monday gave the ruling and ordered the continuation of the matter on Tuesday.
Mr Onnoghen’s lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, had reminded the tribunal of their application challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal on the grounds that the NJC is the body empowered by law to try serving judicial officers. In his part, the prosecution lawyer, Mr Umar, asked for an extension of the ex-parte motion seeking the suspension of Mr Onnoghen and demanded that the tribunal revisits the application.
