Five years after, former CJN Onnoghen appeals suspension, appears in court

Walter Onnoghen, the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) appeared in court on Tuesday at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, challenging his suspension as CJN by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in 2019.

Onnoghen is seeking to void and set aside the CCT judgment delivered against him on April 18, 2019, on various grounds.

In his appeal, Onnoghen argued that the allegations brought against him constituted no offense and should not have formed the basis for his conviction and removal from office.
