The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, , Justice Walter Onnoghen has alleged that his Assets Declaration Form CCB1 submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau was tampered with by agents of the Federal Government.
According to him, the 2014 form had become loose, with a part of it mutilated and had become blue in a way. Akpalla, in his evidence in chief, had told the tribunal that the CCB on January 10 referred a petition written by the Anti-Corruption and Research Database Initiative to his team for investigation.
Under cross-examination, the witness informed the tribunal that he did not know whether the CCB has a central registry and register where returned assets forms are deposited and registered. Awomolo confronted the witness who attempted denying the involvement of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in the CCB investigation with documents from Standard Chartered Bank addressed to the EFCC but tendered by the witness.
Prosecution counsel, Aliyu Umar SAN, had asked the court to subpoena the bank official after Awomolo had opposed to the tendering of the bank document on the grounds that since the witness did not author nor sign the document, he cannot tender it as an exhibit before the tribunal.
