Cct trial my assets declaration forms tampered with onnoghen alleges

A developing story!

According to reports, the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, has alleged that his assets declaration forms were tampered with by unknown persons before his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Onnoghen made this allegation during his trial on Monday, January 14, 2019, where he was accused of failing to declare his assets as required by law. He claimed that the forms he submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) were altered and that the alterations were not made by him.

The suspended CJN's lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, told the tribunal that the forms were tampered with and that the alterations were not consistent with Onnoghen's handwriting. He requested that the tribunal order an investigation into the alleged tampering.

The CCT chairman, Danladi Umar, has adjourned the trial to January 22, 2019, to allow the tribunal to investigate the allegations.

This development has sparked controversy and raised questions about the integrity of the trial process. Many have expressed concerns that the alleged tampering with Onnoghen's assets declaration forms could be a deliberate attempt to discredit him and undermine the judiciary.

The situation is unfolding, and we will continue to monitor the developments and provide updates as more information becomes available.
