Presidency Reacts To Onnoghen’s Dismissal As CJN

The presidential aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on social media, Lauretta Onochie, has praised  the Code of Conduct Tribunal in its recent ruling over the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen of breach of Code of Conduct for public officers

It will be recalled that earlier today Naija News reported that the Code of Conduct Tribunal convicted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen of breach of Code of Conduct for public officers.

Reading the lead judgment, the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, ordered the immediate removal of Onnoghen from office as the CJN. The Tribunal also stripped him of all offices earlier occupied, such as the Chairman of the National Judicial Council and also the chairmanship of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.

 Lauretta Onochie in her reaction said
