CCT announces date for judgement in Onnoghen’s case
Chairman of the tribunal, Danladi Yakubu Umar, while announcing the date, disclosed that rulings will be delivered on the same date on the two motions earlier filed by Onnoghen in which he challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal and, also praying that the tribunal chairman should recuse himself from the trial on account of bias.
He added that for the prosecution to succeed, the elements of each count in the six-count charge must be well established and in absence, the tribunal under the law must rule in favour of the defendant. The defence counsel, therefore, prayed the tribunal to dismiss the entire charges and, to discharge and acquit Onnoghen from the alleged offences.
