Court Restates Order Stopping CCT From Forcing CJN To Vacate Office
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja on Monday
restated its earlier order restraining the Attorney General of the
Federation (AGF) and some others from forcing the Chief Justice of
Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen to vacate office in view of the
allegation of non-disclosure of assets made against him.
Also to be bound by the order are other defendants in a suit by Peter Abang. They are The Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), the National Judicial Council (NJC), the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC), the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Senate President.
Justice Sanusi Kado had, in an ex-parte ruling on January 14 this year made similar order and equally halted the scheduled trial of the CJN before the CCT on charges of non-declaration of assets.
The judge restrained all the defendants in the suit from attempting to force the CJN out office pending the hearing and determination of the plaintiff’s motion for interlocutory injunction.
