BREAKING: Onnoghen’s suspension by CCT breached his right to fair hearing, Appeal Court rules

ed on January 23, 2019, for his suspension from office pending his trial before the tribunal.

In a unanimous judgment by the three-man bench led by Justice Stephen Adah, the Court of Appeal, however, ruled that the CCT’s ex parte order breached the ex-CJN’s right to fair hearing. Justice Adah, who read the lead judgment, noted that the court proceedings ought not to be conducted “in a shady or clandestine maneuver” as manner in which the ex parte order was obtained by the prosecution.

He, however, struck out the matter on the grounds that the substantive matter had been concluded by the CCT, which ended in the ex-CJN’s conviction on charges of false and non-declaration of assets. President Muhammadu Buhari had, on the strength of the ex parte order, suspended Onnoghen from office on January 25.

Nice one, there is a procedure to investigation regardless of the crime, you can’t break the law to investigate someone and tell us he committed crimes. Very foolish administration

You used to trend sir. It seems you have been left to carry your cross by the same people who made it look like u were being witch hunted.renoomokri ,OfficialPDPNig

The whole thing don scatter jare. Nobody know watin again. Judiciary, park well jo.

The CCT trial of the CJN was a Sham.

Is Ononghe crying 😂 or what? Punch try to spin lost case again. YEYE

The punch is a disgusting newspaper,the appeal court uphold his suspension and asked him to step aside and punch is reporting a white lie.

Even a dunce knows this, your ruling meaningless now...

Here he Loss the case

The buharits have inflirtrated our judiciary, so sad.

Stop misleading the gullible public & state all of the courts ruling. 'The same court strikes out Onnoghen's Appeal...affirming the CCT judgement'

Koko be say corrupt ex CJN lose the case. Nigeria is now on the right track.

All their maneuvering was very clear to all and sundry from the get go, on the other hand we are privy to the fact that karma will come calling soon, just like the case of one emirate like that😉.
