The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has granted bail to Justice Walter Onnoghen, suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

Onnoghen had pleaded not guilty to six-count charge on non-asset declaration and operating foreign account.

However, he was granted bail on self-recognisance applied by his lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN).

Chris Uche also appealed with the tribunal to adjourn to a date after the general elections, to which the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar replied, “Granted.”

Furthermore, the Code of Conduct Tribunal adjourned the trial to March 11 for hearing of all pending applications.
