A Supreme Court sitting in Cross River on Friday dismissed a case filed by the state government to challenge the suspension of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria , Walter Onnoghen.
Ariwoola, however, struck out the case without considering its merit on the grounds that the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. She held that the Supreme Court was an appropriate place for the case to be filed, adding that the order issued by the Code of Conduct Tribunal on which President Muhammadu Buhari acted upon to suspend Onnoghen was wrong.
The judge held that the CCT lacked jurisdiction to hear the false and non-declaration of assets charges instituted against Onnoghen.
