The counsel of the Chief Justice
of Nigeria CJN, Walter Onnoghen, Chris Uche SAN, Friday stated that the
eventual arraignment of his client before the Code of Conduct Tribunal CCT, was
a sad day for the country’s judiciary.
A battery of newsmen had
approached Onnoghen’s lawyer for his reaction after the adjournment of the
matter inside the CCT premises.
When grilled, he said, “It is a
sad day for the judiciary for the indignity meted to the hallowed arm of
government. The judiciary has experienced a setback for democracy and also for
the people of the law when due process was not followed.
“Someone will just come from the
blues and accuse a person of stealing and you expect him to be brought to the
defendant box, and you also expect that person to bend his head to be
slaughtered? NO.”
