The suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen Friday morning has arrived the venue of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (an auxiliary Court) for trial in company of his lawyers.
Onnoghen drove into the premises in his convoy around 9.40am; with him are Chief Chris Uche SAN and Ogwu Onoja SAN, amongst others.
It would be recalled that the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Wednesday issued a bench warrant against the Chief Justice for arraignment on February 15 (today).
It also mandated the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and the Director General, Department of State Services, DSS, Yusuf Magaji to effect his arrest.
This development was sequel to an application by the prosecuting counsel, Aliyu Umar praying the tribunal that a bench warrant be issued against Onnoghen whom he said has been consistently absent in order to compel his appearance.
