A judicial advocacy group, Access to Justice, has described the Court of Appeal’s decision to deliver its ruling after the winding up of the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s trial of the embattled former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, as unfortunate.
“Had the decision of the Court of Appeal been delivered sooner, at a time when it could have mattered, it would have represented a timely intervention required, at that time, to meet the exigencies of the situation in the tribunal. “Though the Court of Appeal has reasoned that the appeal by Justice Onnoghen has been rendered moot given the conclusion of proceedings against him by the tribunal, it was not as much the appeal as it was the appellate court that had rendered itself moot, out of reckoning, out of service and out of reach.”
Otteh said whatever the Court of Appeal’s views were on Onnoghen’s conduct, what was at stake was well beyond Onnoghen’s circumstance.
