Walter Onnoghen, the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has alleged that his asset declaration Form 001, which he filled in 2014 and 2015, were not as he had filled them.
He queried why the form, which had been bound, appeared in loose form.
The forms had been tendered as evidence against Onnoghen at the resumption of his trial at the Code of Conduct Bureau in Jabi, Abuja, on Monday.
When the forms were tendered, Onnoghen, through his lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, alleged that they had been tampered with.
The Federal Government had, through the witness, tendered the first set of exhibits it said would establish allegations it levelled against Onnoghen at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
Aside allegation that he failed to declare his assets as prescribed by the law, in the six-count charge marked CCT/ABJ/01/19, FG alleged that Onnoghen operated five foreign bank accounts, contrary to section 15(2) of Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.
Awomolo said he would raise his client’s objection to the admissibility of the documents, in his final written address.
“We have some reservation on the documents, we will not object in the interest of justice but we have reservations that would be addressed at the end of the day”, he added.
