The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, has arrived the premises of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, for the commencement of his trial for false declaration of assets.
Onnoghen drove into the premises in his convoy around 9.40am and was received by a team of his lawyers including Chief Chris Uche SAN and Ogwu Onoja SAN, amongst others.

Recall that the Tribunal Chairman Danladi Umar, had at the last sitting on Wednesday, February 13 ordered the police and DSS to arrest Onnoghen and present him in court today to answer to the charges against him.
The suspended CJN is facing a 6 count charge bordering on false declaration of assets.
The case was filed by the Federal Government last but Onnoghen had refused to appear in court until today, perhaps due to the bench warrant issued by the Tribunal for his arrest.
