Breaking onnoghen appears in cct for trial pleads not guilty

It seems like you're referring to a recent news article. Here's a summary:

Onnoghen, the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on January 14, 2020, to face trial on charges of non-declaration of assets. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The charges against Onnoghen were brought by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in January 2019, alleging that he failed to declare his assets as required by law. The CCB claimed that Onnoghen had failed to disclose his bank accounts, shares, and other assets in his asset declaration form.

Onnoghen's lawyers argued that the charges were politically motivated and that their client had done nothing wrong. They also claimed that the CCB had no jurisdiction to try the CJN, as he was not a public officer under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.

The trial is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will unfold.
