ABUJA – The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on Monday adjourned indefinitely the trial of suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Justice Onnoghen is facing allegations bordering on non declaration of assets.
But, at the resumed sitting on Monday in Abuja, the Tribunal anchored the adjournment on the pending application filed by Onnoghen at the Court of Appeal.
The chairman ruled, “In view of the Court of Appeal order for stay of proceedings and out of respect for the Court of Appeal, the tribunal hereby adjourn this matter sine-die (indefinitely) pending the determination of the Appeal before the Court of Appeal.”
In attendance during the proceedings were two out of the three CCT Judges – the chairman, Justice Danladi Umar and Justice Julie Enabor while Justice Williams Atanze was absent.
