News broke out early this year that Justice Walter Onnoghen, who has now been suspended as the Chief Justice of the Federation, had failed to declare his assets and maintains bank accounts in foreign currencies and equally made efforts to obstruct justice. The Nigerian media space and particularly the social media were awashed with allegations that Onnoghen had 55 undeclared buildings as well as millions in local and foreign currencies.
Consequently, the prosecution hurriedly closed its case after calling only three out of the six witnesses earlier lined up. On the other hand, the defence team of Onnoghen immediately filed a no case submission having come to the assumption that the charges against the suspended CJN had fallen like a pack of cards.
