The tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, who presided over two other members of the bench on Monday gave the ruling and ordered the continuation of the matter on Tuesday.
Mr Onnoghen’s lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, had reminded the tribunal of their application challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal on the grounds that the NJC is the body empowered by law to try serving judicial officers. In his part, the prosecution lawyer, Mr Umar, asked for an extension of the ex-parte motion seeking the suspension of Mr Onnoghen and demanded that the tribunal revisits the application.
Beautiful. Speed things up otherwise 2023 elections will come and go while this case is still under investigations.
