Mr Onnoghen is facing trial on six counts, for allegedly failing to declare his assets when due and for omitting a number of details in the declaration form.

The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria , Walter Onnoghen, has closed his case in his ongoing trial for alleged false assets declaration.

He had also asked the tribunal for an adjournment to bring a second witness after the first defence witness testified at the tribunal on the last adjourned date. According to a lawyer who spoke for the defence team, Chris Uche, the defence counsel reviewed the evidence brought by the prosecution and considered it wise for the defence to close its case.
