The Supreme Court has rejected a request to review the circumstances leading to the exit of the immediate past Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Walter Onnoghen and pronounce on the propriety or otherwise of his removal following an ex-parte order issued by the Code of Conduct Tribunal .
One of the constitutional questions Nwawka had sought the court’s answer was whether the Federal Government, the NJC and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation ought not to dismiss and prosecute Malami, Muhammad and two members of the CCT “for the treasonable action of unconstitutional overthrow of Onnoghen from the office of the CJN contrary to sections 1 and 292 of the Constitution.”
Nwawka had also prayed the court to determine whether the 1st to 6th respondents allegedly involved in the removal of Onnoghen “by means of an ex-parte order of the CCT does not amount to treasonable conduct, having regard to the clear provisions of sections 1 and 292 of the Constitution.”Listed as the 1st to 6th respondents were: the Federal Government, Malami, Muhammad, the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau , Muhammed Isah, Umar and Anabor.
