The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Walter Onnoghen opened his defence on Monday by calling his driver, Lawal Busari, as his first defence witness.

Led in evidence by lead defence lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo , Busari gave details of how he drove his boss, the defendant, to the Code of Conduct Bureau office on July 28, 2010, to obtain the assets declaration form and how he paid N200 for the defendants’ assets declaration on November 3, 2010. The defence said, by the testimony of the witness, it sought to puncture the prosecution’s charge that the defendant did not declare his assets from 2005 and 2016.
