According to reports, Onnoghen, who reportedly hails from Cross-River state, will be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on a six count charge slammed on him by the Federal Government.

The CJN has been accused of failing to declare his assets as required by law.

According to Premium Times, the meeting is scheduled to hold today, Sunday, January 13, 2019, in Abuja.

Speaking on the development, the Governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson said “all efforts must be on deck to prevent the subversion and desecration of the ethos of democracy in Nigeria as nation moves nearer to the election.”

The Governor also added that “It is a grave and dangerous escalation, coming a few weeks to the general elections.”
