Just in: Onnoghen files notice of appeal against CCT ruling

Justice Walter Onnoghen, the suspended chief justice of Nigeria has filed a notice of appeal against the ruling of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on his no-case submission.

Onnoghen, dissatisfied with the ruling of the CCT resolved to challenge the decision of the Tribunal at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, Channels TV reports.

In the proposed appeal, the “Federal Republic of Nigeria” was listed as the sole defendant.

According to Onnoghen, the CCT erred in law when it dismissed his no-case submission by its alleged failure to appreciate his submission that the processes that led to the criminal proceeding against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) violated the provision of the law

Going further, Onnoghen insisted that the members of the Tribunal erred in law when they overruled his no-case submission when there is uncontroverted evidence before it that there was no lawful investigation into the allegations against him.

Here is the notice of appeal by Justice Onnoghen:

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
