Divaviva111.com understands that the National Judicial Commission (NJC) has recommended Walter Onnoghen, Chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), for compulsory retirement after deliberationg on the petition filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday against him.





Members of the NJC unanimously agreed that Justice Onnoghen had lost the moral authority to continue as CJN.





Council director of information Mr. Soji Oye who spoke exclusively to theCable said that these recommendations have been passed to President Muhammadu Buhari for approval.W





TheCable can report, however, that the president still has to seek the approval of the senate for Onnoghen to be retired if he wants to follow the CJN route.





This will require two-thirds majority of the upper legislative chamber.





Section 292 (1) of the 1999 constitution says a “judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances – (a) in the case of – (i) Chief Justice of Nigeria… by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.”





Onnoghen is also undergoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations of false asset declaration — and if found guilty, he could be removed.
