The tribunal also reserved ruling on another motion wherein Justice Onnoghen prayed for the disqualification of the Chairman of the tribunal, Danladi Umar, from participating in the trial on the ground of bias. He consequently ordered that proceedings against Onnoghen shall be conducted on a daily basis so as to ensure speedy trial of the charges.Justice Onnoghen had insisted that CCT had no jurisdiction to proceed with the six-count charge brought against him by the Federal Government.

He held that the powers of NJC are superior to that of the Code Conduct Bureau on issues affecting judicial officers.
