Onnoghen: Group laments Court of Appeal's late ruling

The Court of Appeal’s decision to deliver its ruling after the winding up of the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s trial of embattled former chief justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, is unfortunate, Access to Justice has said.

“Today, the judgment of the Court of Appeal faulting the obnoxious ex-parte order suspending Justice Onnoghen, as well as denouncing the Tribunal’s disregard of the orders issued against it by other courts halting its proceedings, has little else to it besides academic value. For instance, the panel found that the ex-parte order granted by the CCT on January 23 breached Mr Onnoghen’s right to fair hearing because it was obtained in a manner “shrouded in secrecy and clandestine manoeuvre.”

According to Mr Otteh, the judiciary is labouring under serious threats to its independence, coming mostly from the executive arm of government at both federal and state levels.

Late dispensation of justice by the temple of justice is a rape on Judiciary.
