The
Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the Federal Government’s plan to
arraign the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, before the Code
of Conduct Tribunal.
The
Federal Government through the Code of Conduct Bureau filed six counts of non-declaration
of assets against the CJN on Friday.
He
was due for arraignment before the CCT on Monday but he was absent from court.
But
ruling on two separate ex parte applications on Monday, Justice N.E Maha,
ordered parties to maintain status quo till January 17.
He
ruled in the two different suits that the defendants should be served with all
the papers filed and they should appear in court at the next hearing.
