, lodged to challenge the procedure the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, adopted in the trial that led to his conviction.In a unanimous decision, a three-man panel of Justices of the appellate court, led by Justice Stephen Adah, in four separate judgments, held that issues the ex-CJN raised in his appeals had turned academic.
The court said it was wrong for the prosecution who was present in court when the matter was adjourned, to re-approach the tribunal and surreptitiously obtained interim injunctions President Buhari relied upon to suspend Onnoghen as both the CJN and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, NJC.“The mode of securing that ex-parte order has raised some questions. Justice must never be shrouded in secrecy or clandestine manoeuvre by a prosecution.
The appellate court said it could not find evidence of such warrant in the record of appeal that was transmitted to it from the CCT. Justice Akomolafe-Wilson held that the decision of the tribunal to suspend its ruling on Onnoghen’s suspension was in order, saying “the totality of the appeal is based on speculation, it is incohate”.On his part, the third member of the panel, Justice Peter Ige, dismissed the fourth appeal marked CA/A/63C/19, wherein Onnoghen sought to disqualify the CCT Chairman, Umar, from presiding over his trial.
More so, Justice Ige held that the tribunal acted wrongly when it refused to “tarry awhile” in Onnoghen’s case, as it was ordered to do by both the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court. Nevertheless, Justice Ige held that the tribunal was right when it placed reliance on section 306 of the ACJA to decline Onnoghen’s application for stay of proceeding.

So the secrecy of the sitting is the problem not the validity of the judgement? A reserved judgment on the substantive matter is not welcome.There was no basis for the Court to reserve the judgment.A reserved judgment is subject to influence since the ruling on the appeal of the interlocutory has shown that FG was on the wrong side of law and its procedures.
