The government closed its case on Thursday after calling its third witness.
The Nigerian government, on Thursday, closed its case against the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.
With Mr Akpala in the witness box, the lead prosecution lawyer, Aliu Umar, admitted six documents said to have been investigated by the first prosecution witness. Also admitted in evidence was Mr Onnoghen’s handwritten statement taken by a team of investigators at his office on January 11. In its account of the proceedings for that day, the Punch Newspaper said Mr Akpala was asked during cross examination to read out the dates written on the charge sheet earlier submitted at the tribunal.
Mr Yakassai was the CCB officer who collected the forms when they were filed by Mr Onnoghen in December 2016.
