Adegboyega Awomolo, who is the lead counsel to Mr Onnoghen in his false assets declaration trial, spoke in a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES late on Friday.He said Mr Onnoghen sent his notice of retirement to President Muhammadu Buhari in line with constitutional provisions.
“All he has done is to send a letter to the president, saying thank you. I have served this country for about 32 years. I want to retire. That’s all he has done,” Mr Awomolo said.Mr Onnoghen’s retirement is coming 51 days after his trial began at the Code of Conduct tribunal on January 14 and 58 days after the petition which birthed the said trial was submitted.
Mr Onnoghen’s early exit commenced with his controversial suspension on January 25, less than 24 hours before he was billed to swear in a new set of judges to lead the various election petition tribunals in the country. A number of allegations, contained in a six-count charge of false assets declaration, were brought against Mr Onnoghen by the Code of Conduct Bureau.

Retired or resigned. It doesn't matter. This shows that the judiciary is corrupt. That the President can do what he wants.
what is the difference ? we all cant be foolish we need explanations why he decided to follow that path not him writing a books in 4 years time
