Trial at CCT: Onnoghen granted bail on self recognizance *Tribunal vacates arrest warrant issued against suspended CJN
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has granted bail, on self recognisance, to the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
The CCT Chairman, Danaldi Umar, in a ruling, also discharged the bench warrant issued against Onoghen.
Umar said since he voluntarily submitted himself, the bench warrant was no longer necessary.
Onnoghen, who stood in the dock all through the about one-hour long proceedings, pleaded not guilty to the six-count charge on which he was arraigned.
