A former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr Olisa
Agbakoba (SAN), has condemned the planned arraignment of Onnoghen
on charges of non-declaration of assets.
Speaking with our reporter on Saturday, Agbakoba described the
development as one of the most draconian breaches of the Nigerian
Constitution ever witnessed in the country.
He said, “If this is correct, then it will be one of the most
draconian breaches of the Constitution Nigerian has ever seen.
“In the event that the CJN is complicit in anything, there are
only two procedures to deal with him.
“One is to lay an impeachment charge against him in the Senate
and if he is found guilty, the Senate will proceed to remove him
upon a prayer by two-thirds of the members of the Senate. That is
the constitutionally-prescribed procedure.”
