A group of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, under the aegis of Justice Reform Project, have said the reported voluntary resignation of Justice Walter Onnoghen should not be the end of the corruption alleg

ations leveled against him.

In a statement on Tuesday, JRP, which consists of about 20 SANs, said it was important for Buhari to take this step in order to convince Nigerians that Onnoghen’s trial was not a politically-motivated witch-hunt and had no ethnic colouration. “Second, to disabuse the notion that Justice W.SN. Onnoghen’s travails are a mere witch-hunt motivated by ethnic and political interests rather than the result of a genuine concern for sanitising and reforming the Nigerian judiciary.

SANs have now woke up to realize that judiciary is indeed corrupt. At least when CJN is on trial who else would be spared. PMB has been vindicated, all Nigerians must support him to fight corruption to a standstill.

He had it before now, that he will not go down alone, that he will expose everything. Someonelike me, I'm expecting to hear more from him, concerning who and who else, are involved in what majority of us didn't know.
