Personal Assistant to President
Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has chided the suspended
Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen for failing to appear in court
for his trial.
Onnoghen was suspended by Buhari
for failing to declare some of his assets upon his confirmation as CJN.
Against this backdrop, the
Federal Government had arraigned Onnoghen before the Code of Conduct Tribunal,
CCT for charges bordering on false assets declaration.
The trial which has been ongoing
was, however, stalled yesterday as Onnoghen was absent.
He cited issues of toothache and
high blood pressure as reasons for not appearing before the tribunal.
Reacting, Onochie charged the
suspended CJN to take his pills and appear for his trial
In a tweet, the presidential aide
dared Onnoghen to stop insulting Nigeria’s legal system.
Onnochie tweeted: “Onnoghen
absent from CCT over a toothache, high blood pressure
“Me: Ordinary Nigerians who have
more than toothache & blood pressure come to courts to answer for their
alleged crimes.
“Just take your pills and stop
insulting our legal system. You were fine till now.”
