Ex-CJN Onnoghen’s Appeal Against CCT Judgment Starts Tuesday

Former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen’s appeal against the judgment of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is scheduled to commence on Tuesday. The appeal is a significant legal proceeding following Onnoghen’s removal from office in 2019 over allegations of non-declaration of assets. The case has drawn considerable attention, reflecting broader concerns about judicial independence and accountability in Nigeria. The hearing will be closely monitored for its potential implications on the judiciary and the rule of law in the country.
