Onnoghen is not been tried on a criminal case.

1) No body is disputing how he got monies in his account,

2) The case is about a mere declaration of asset.

3)When in 2015 Osibanjo a mere judge in a,state declared almost $1 million in his bank account, how come nobody questioned how he got them?

Its not false declaration its total ommision and last time I checked the penalty for omnmision is to admit and update which he has done so in reality there is no case whatsoever, even CCT laws do not penalize for ommision.

A Bank Verification Number (BVN) search may have exposed more accounts linked to the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.

Detectives are understood to have written three banks for details of the alleged accounts of the suspended CJN.

The banks are Standard Chartered Bank, Union Bank and Heritage Bank, according to a preliminary report on the activities of Onnoghen by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other agencies.

The CJN is accused of false declaration of assets. A six-count charge has been filed against him.

Further investigation into Onnoghen’s accounts notwithstanding, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the European Commission (EU) yesterday urged caution on the part of the federal government in its handling of his case.

The US called for due process to be followed in the matter while UK faulted the timing of the suspension.

Sources knowledgeable about the investigation of Onnoghen’s finances revealed to The Nation yesterday the turn-over in the alleged accounts of the CJN as follows:

USD account from October, 2012 to September, 2016 — $1,922,657.00
GBP (£) account from 2012 to September, 2016 — £138, 439.00
Euro account as at September 30, 2016 — €55,154.00
Naira account from September, 2005 to October, 2016 — N91, 962.362.49
A document sighted by The Nation correspondent states: “Upon receipt of the report, a preliminary investigation was conducted during which the following actions were carried out:

“A request was sent to the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) for a report on the suspect.

“A letter of investigation activities was sent to Standard Chartered Bank, Union Bank and Heritage Bank to provide the statements of accounts of the suspect;

“A BVN search through the NIBSS platform was conducted on the suspect and six (6) more accounts were found to be linked or connected to the suspect;

“The statements of accounts of the suspect were analyzed and further to that, a letter was written to Standard Chartered Bank requesting for additional information on suspicious activities in the account.”

There was anxiety yesterday over alleged restriction on the movement of Justice Onnoghen.

Security was tightened at the official quarters of the Justices of the Supreme Court.

Journalists were turned back from gaining access to the quarters in the three arms zone.

A reliable security source said: “Yes, the security around the quarters was enhanced but I doubt your insinuation of restriction of movement of the CJN.

“With the tension generated by the suspension of the CJN, security agencies are only taking pre-emptive action to prevent the judges from harm.”

There were also strong indications last night the battle over Onnoghen’s fate would shift to the court tomorrow.

A counsel in the defence team of the CJN said: “We will go to court to challenge the illegal suspension of His Lordship.


“We hope the Federal Government will respect any court order reinstating the CJN. Anything otherwise is a judicial anarchy.”

No northern CJN will ever go through this level of humiliation. Never! It would have been settled on Friday inside the Mosque after prayers. More so, the emirs would intervene and crush every dissenting voice within their sphere. This is one thing most Southern muslims and non-muslims do not understand and may never comprehend.

The North is strategic and never tarnish the image of the few brains they have alive. Never! Only the south pounces on the flesh yea demand the blood of their own to drink.

Nigeria will not move forward with sectionalism or nepotism but nepotism/sectionalism practiced across board will bring all to the table of rationality. Some folks will still not get this.

Bros Dasuki is son of former Sultan of Sokoto, the north did not prevailed on his behalf. Get ur facts right. Can u hear what the CJN was saying, he forgot to declare his assets and moreover he is not challenging the content of the case but rather challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the case. He hurried suspended NJC sittings indefinitely, this fast track his suspension sef. You cannot be a judge in your own case.

ogbonti:



Please re-elect Buhari if you like, I care less..I live in America and I have a career which I have maintained for almost 20 years and I run a personal business part time and I teach in a University part time, my hands are fully and I am living life to the fullest. Whatever I say here is out of love for Nigeria, and not because i want to win a debate with an ignorant person.... so, if you guys wanna re-elect Buhari, na una sabi, it does not affect me earning my dollars .... God bless you, as you live with the consequences of your Buhari decision!

Ur condition is pitiable.

Go and sue the CCT if you can’t u can use 3rd mainland bridge to vent ur anger and frustration.

Rickyuzzy:
Its very funny that people are lashing out on only Buhari (he also acted stupidly) with so much vitriol when the real culprit is the CJN. A whole head of.the Judiciary. First of all, he didn't declare his assets beacuse obviously he can't describe this sources of wealth. No one screamed Blue murder on something that obvious. Secondly with an authoritarian move, he suspended a meeting that was meant to.act on the CCT's order to suspend him. That move alone is undemocratic, corrupt, selfish and an abuse of power from.a whole CJN because he was trying to delay Justice. No one lost their brains over that. The NBA who should have called him.out on this but they kept mute all because of Partisan politics.

No one brought the internet down. If he had done the right thing, will the Executive have to.step in? This is just Hypocrisy on Steriods!!

Let me tell you the rape of Democracy here, A CJN who has kept a whole body like the NJC hostage, A senate who should.be sitting to.delibrate on national, legislative and budget issues but left their jobs to campaign and also the President for foolishly unsurping the power of an independent body. The anger should be directed at all of them. We should learn to.stop making the same mistakes when we cherry pick with bias on who to call out cus of sentiments that will favour no one. Call all.of them the f*ck out!! Perioood!

So, Onnoggen should be freed

Onnoghen is not been tried on a criminal case. No body is disputing how he got monies in his account, if not you would have had EFCC and ICPC gruelling him.

The case is about a mere declaration of asset.

APC and their devilish croonies are trying to turn in around into a criminal case which it isn't.

When in 2015 Osibanjo a mere judge in a,state declared almost $1 million in his bank account, how come nobody questioned how he got them?

The CCT trial is not a corruption trial. But ask your judge why he didn't declare his

Then, your obsession with Buhari is a cause for worry!

ifyalways:
If they truly had all these evidence against him why not follow the right and due process ?

What's the rush and media prosecution for

stiles009:


He should, if found guilty. But was he found guilty by any court of law? Was he suppose to step aside for every allegations made against him ?

neyobills:


Oh really but the CJN is a local charge and bail lawyer that doesn't have a law firm for private practice, so Onnoghen who has been a supreme court judge since 05 and probably been a judge before Osibanjo was ever a SAN can't justify his source of income? how convenient?

neyobills:


Oh really going by your narration a high priced practicing lawyer must definitely be richer than the current CJN who has also been a Supreme court judge in the Gambia,how convenient?

You want lawyers to be rich but judges adjudicating be miserly poor,is there any logic in your thinking index at all?
