The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) says it has uncovered alleged plot by the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) govt to “harm” the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen”.

Imo Ugochinyere, CUPP spokesman, stated this on Wednesday in a statement which contained a letter by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, directing the freezing or Onnoghen’s accounts.

DAILY POST reports that the accounts are the same contained in a petition against the CJN by a group, the Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative (ARDI).


The group said its petition, dated January 7, 2019, became necessary, “bearing in mind the imminence of the 2019 General Elections and the overwhelming roles of the Judicial Arm both before and after”.

ARDI said Onnoghen “is the owner of sundry accounts primarily funded through cash deposits made by himself up to as recently as 10th August 2016 which appear to have been run in a manner inconsistent with financial transparency and the code of conduct for public officials”.

ARDI alleged that prior to 2016, Onnoghen appeared “to have suppressed or otherwise concealed the existence of these multiple domiciliary accounts owned by him, as well as the substantial cash balances in them”.

Account balances listed against as follows: The Standard Chartered Bank dollar account 1062650 with a balance of $391,401.28 on January 31, 2011;

The Standard Chartered Bank Euro account 5001062686 with a balance of EURO 49,971 .71 on January 31, 2011;

The Standard Chartered Bank pound sterling account 5001062679 with a balance of GBP23,409.66 on February 28, 2011;

“It is curious that these domiciliary accounts were not declared in one of the two CCB Forms filed by Justice Onnoghen on the same day, 14th December 2016,” the group said.

But CUPP said the federal government was angry because Onnohen “refused to compromise the composition of the post-2019 election Supreme Court Appeal Tribunal.

The coalition said: “Lobbying of all sorts by the APC chieftains to get the Chief Justice of Nigeria to accept to compromise the Presidential Election Appeal Tribunal and to compose the Governorship election Supreme Court Appeal Tribunal Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State, Delta State, Lagos state, Benue State, Imo State, Kwara State, Plateau state, Kaduna State, Abia State and Sokoto State with their preferred choices of justices did not succeed as the Chief Justice had remained faithful to his Oath of office and said by his actions that the Supreme Court was neither going to be partisan nor partial and would not consider such requests.

“The current ordeal of the Honourable Chief Justice will not end soon. He is up against people who are desperate and who do not care if the engine of state grinds to a halt. They have taken this dastardly attack to a new low by freezing all the family assets of the family of the CJN.

“We are in possession of the letter from the Attorney General of the Federation to this effect. This onslaught on the judiciary is as undemocratic as it is unconstitutional. This is capable of furtherderailing our democracy as such brazen violation of the Constitution is
only tantamount to treason.

“With the happenings in the last 48 hours and the insistence of the Presidency to either get the CJN to comply or be removed from office, we hereby notify the nation that the life of the Honourable CJN, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen as well as those of his family members is not safe.

“The situation will very quickly descend into compromising the security of the CJN. The APC govt views the resistance of the CJN to the plot to hijack the Supreme court as the only piece that has not been fixed in its grand design to rig and manipulate the 2019 general election for President Muhammadu Buhari and APC chieftains.

“Nigerians will be shocked by the contents of the letter directing the freezing of the accounts and assets of the CJN. We hereby attach it.

“We are also in possession of audio recordings of meetings of those behind the plot including call records which we will be releasing as we analyze them. It is still amazing how the Buhari led APC govt is continuing in this path of ignominy, opprobrium, reproach, and dishonour despite the widespread outrage by Nigerians across board. Their mind is made up. They believe nothing can stop them now.”

Back to the topic.

Prof Osinbanjo said Mr. President wasn't aware of all these moves not until Saturday.
The cabal theory seems true. God bless Nigeria.

if the allegation is true,? which audacity the corrupt cjn will refuse.

meanwhile, the corrupt cjn can not escape, he must tell us how he got the money in his domiciliary account,
which business he was into before March 2011.

What was that fake pastor Osinbanjo saying again? what was he saying? ohh I forgot Buhari is not aware

Atikulation is a must for all genuine patriots and lovers of Nigeria.
BUHARI kept attacking the media but can't do without having numerous media aides and media house to launch his propaganda... Always angry that the media is exposing his failures as govt

This charade by the presidency to rubbish our son Justice Walter Onnogen can not be tolerated by anyone in the south south region of the country..
It's high time Buhari, his Northern cabal and South west collaborators know that the geese that lay the golden Egg can not just be sacrificed just like that and be replaced by a. Semi illiterate herdsman
Enough is enough!!

It is only pdp members that love corruption, the man is under investigation and so the accounts has to be frozen pending the outcome of the investigation.






Look at the money one man is hording, i am here looking for school fees.




We the youths are the problem of this nation.





The admitted to the crime the only thing he is trying to do now is to ebade justice.



If he claimed that he has forgotten as a profestional law officer, how many people has he forgotten and sent to jail?

We youth see are accomplices of their evil acts. No matter who is caught under any administration, let's join hand to deal with that person, our weapon is the Social Media, let's use it to our advantage.

All I know is, If Hausa Man enter and jail Ijaw man, one day Ijaw man will be there and the truth will be laid bare.

Who cares if they jail themselves and we have our way?

We need to stop supporting them, how many of Walter Onnoggen's children are on NL reading and commenting, let's not phycologically injure ourselves because of these nogooders.

People still do not believe Buhari does not know anything happening in this country.
The cabals are the ones running this nation.
Does he read?

If AGF actually filled the petition about freezing Onnoghen accounts, then Osinbanjo is lieing about Buhari not knowing anything about it

Tyrant.....!
Mains is a free man

Former EFCC chair larmode that stole over 1.5 trillion is still an commissioner of police in ikoyi

Abdulmumuni jubril has over 5 million pounds in a UK account yet no single arrest

Only Christians southerners are hunted like slaves that stole from their masters...

Why osibanjo denying that presidency is not aware of this development till late Saturday night?


Pastor Osinbajo, fear God ooo. Remember this world isn't our own.

We will all give account of whatever we do in this world yo baba God irrespective of the post you hold in the church.

Dont you need a court order to do that?

Is

The southerners have been given the job of defending pmb and his many errors. Will Osinbajo come back and tell Nigerians that his boss does not know also that AGF has ordered the freezing...... Afonjas will forever be asslickers of the north.

F

The CJN issue is a democratic coup that have already been hatched by the presidency cabal of which VP Osinbajo is shamelessly part of.

When people are told the Buhari-led APC government is satanic they tend to disbelieve.Now imagine! Let's see them deny this.Nigerians abeg kick out this useless APC govt.

Oga, was the chief justice right in not declaring these assets? Ahn ahn
If the Presidency shuts those accounts down, I see nothing wrong in it.

What will Osinbajo say now? that the letter is forged and pmb is not aware.. This administration is a complete fallout of Democratic process

The CJN is wrong but the government should first go and bring Adeosun, Maina, Babachir Lawal and prosecute them, they should also sack Shittu that didn't do NYSC, then the CJN would do the right thing, should everything in Nigeria be in the hands of APC, Nigeria would forever curse March 2015 that they brought in this government.....

ATIKU has served this nation twice as a Vice President. That experience ought to count for something. After he was sworn into office as the vice president of Nigeria on 29 May 1999, He presided over the National Council on Privatization, which entailed the responsibility of overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss making and poorly managed public enterprises in the country.
ATIKU ABUBAKAR IS SUCCESSFUL in these areas;

1.Business
2. Education
3. Security
4. Jobs/Employment
5. Electricity
and many more.

This is probably the life savings of this man for more than 35years of being on the bench. He has clearly stated that these lodgements were estacodes from official trips. I however do not support his not declaring these accounts in the Assets Declaration forms, he should know better.

Malami should be debarred after his tenure
And investigated for fees paid on Abacha loot recovery
We keep getting worse and worse AGFs

I only respond to you...because irrespective your support for this government of impunity,your commonsense is intact....

Simply put,Osibanjo lied.....how on earth did you think the C-in-C won't hear about that?
Did you even believe that in the 1st place?

If EFCC does not take direct orders from the Presidency,what about the AGF?
From one mistake to the other....
