THE National Judicial Council (NJC) on Wednesday said it has reached a decision on the allegations of misconduct against suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, and the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad.
The NJC said the decisions of the Council cannot be made public until it is made available to President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was disclosed by the spokesman of the NJC, Soji Oye, in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the Council decided that the allegations relating to assets declaration that were levelled against Onnoghen were subjudice and therefore abstained from considering them.
He also said the Council reached a decision on the petitions written by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and others and conveyed its decision to President Buhari, adding: “Council also resolved that, by the nature of the decision reached, it would be inappropriate to publicise it before conveying it to Mr. President.”
