CCT orders daily proceedings in Onnoghen’s trial
The Code of Conduct Tribunal has ordered that further proceedings in the trial of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Walter Onnoghen be conducted on a day-to-day basis
Umar had sought the lawyers’ views after the tribunal took arguments from both sides in relation to the two applications by Onnoghen. After listening to both lawyers, the CCT Chairman proceeded, there and then, to write his ruling, which he delivered about 20 minutes later, refusing to adopt either of the positions suggested by Umar and Awomolo.
Umar further said the tribunal “shall be strictly guided by the provisions of the ACJA 2015, which encourages speedy trial of proceedings.” “In view of the provision of Section 296 of the ACJA, the proceedings in this case shall be conducted day-to-day. In view of the foregoing, the tribunal hereby adjourn this matter till tomorrow, the 12th of March, 2019 for continuation of hearing of the substantive case,” Umar said.
In the dock, Onnoghen chose to stand, prompting the CCT Chairman to direct officials of the tribunal to fetch a chair for him. He elected to argue the one asking the tribunal Chairman to recuse himself and the other challenging the tribunal’s jurisdiction.
