Embattled CJN Onnoghen
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it is not aware of any raid on the farm allegedly linked to the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Operatives of the commission, a cameraman and policemen were said to have raided Justice Onnoghen’s farms located in the Masaka area of Nasarawa State around 3 pm on Saturday and allegedly searched the entire premises for more than three hours.
But in a telephone conversation with Channels Television, EFCC’s spokesman, Mr. Tony Orilade, denied being aware of any search by operatives of the agency on the property reportedly linked to the suspended CJN.
The denial comes barely 24 hours after the EFCC dismissed reports of raiding Justice Onnoghen’s residence.
According to the anti-graftagency, itneverwent tothe CJN’s house.
There were also reports about an invitation from the EFCC to the CJN, however, the EFCC said itdidnot extend any such invitation.
While describingthese reports as ‘fake news’, the anti-graft agency urged Nigerianstodisregardallunfoundedclaimsandberest assured that the commission will fight corruption in line with the agency’s mandate.
Justice Onnoghen is facing six charges bordering on failure to declare his assets and operating a domiciliary account, among other charges.
