CCT admits petition, Onnoghen’s assets declaration forms as exhibits onnoghen
The trial of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, on charges of non-declaration and false declaration of charges, started on Monday, with the tribunal admitting first set of exhibits.
Umar tendered the documents as exhibits after a brief introductory testimony of the prosecution’s first witness, Mr. James Apala, a Senior Investigation Officer with the Code of Conduct Bureau. Although the defence led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo , did not object to the assets declaration forms, he noted that the forms were “in loose form and appeared to be tampered with”, adding that he would address the issues at the final address stage.
Earlier, Apala while being led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, had said, “On January 9, 2019, I was in my office at the Code of Conduct Bureau that morning when I received a call from my superior, Samuel Madojemu, who happens to be a member of the team.“Having done the required processes – routine investigation – case file was opened and investigation plan was drawn.
