You got it wrong....
In addition to false declaration of assets .
There are lots of fraud allegations leveled against him.
Cjn position is a holy position ... person of questionable character is not permitted to occupy that office...

Meanwhile, it's just a suspension not a termination of duty
there was no false declaration of assets, there were some ommisions which he supposed to be reminded, the fed govnt is totally wrong

Stop this rumour mongering. There is no case of fraud against the CJN. His alleged declaring which didn't capture some Nigerian domiciliary account with foreign currency is what they are calling false asset declaration and fraud.

A simple letter to the CJN copying the NJC attached with a copy of the petition, asking the CJN to review his asset declaration in lieu of the petition against him is enough.

If he had failed to restate those bank accounts, then it will can be argued that he tried to hide those assets.

Afterall, even Buhari asset declaration from 2003 till date hasn't changed.

Most people just change date on the document and resubmit. They just blackmailed him.

As for the foreign currency there, judges have been known to receive estacodes annually from their own government in dollars, it not a big deal to have judges with domiciliary bank account with foreign cash.

In any case, I have no issues with a supreme court judge removed/suspended, my argument is for this game to be played according to the rules. ..datzall

Legally, the CURRENT CJN, Onnoghen has not committed any crimes. If he failed to file some assets, the CCB should issue him fresh forms to declare those assets, that's what the law says.

Buharri basing his suspension on any CCT is resorting to self help and it will not stand.

Abet where you get that one!

They don't even know how to lie smartly.

I dont understand why people are ranting. How will the CJN be a judge on his own case. The man already have started frustrating everything by hiring up to 90 SANS to defend him thereby using delay tactics and intimidation to subvert justice and also suspending the NJC meeting indefinitely thereby holding the judiciary at ransom. People are saying that its only the NJC that can remove him but the question they have not answer is this, who is the chairman of NJC ? Of course the CJN is the chairman of the NJC and he will still be the one that will appoint judges for the case. Wont u expect a biased judgement on this. Had it been that it was another judge probably one of the justice of supreme or appeal court, then the CJN can wade into the case and appoint judges that will work on the case. PMB is not a dullard and for me since the CJN refused to excuse himself for a proper trial, the best thing to do is to suspend him pending when his trial is concluded .As a man of honour, he should know that he can never be a judge on his own case and would have left since and save himself from this embarrasement and heating of the polity but Nigerian mentality of business as usual will never allow him to do the right thing coupled with his affinity with the PDP for help during 2019 election tribunal cases becos the way they are crying up and down , u will not have any doubt that they have something to do with the man. PMB has dashed their hope the second time after failing to ascent to their ridiculous electoral act bill.

Nigerians totally ignored the lawless act committed by the disgraced CJ against them and their constitution, but they are going out of their way to kill the President for doing what they should have done.

Where is the sense and wisdom in allowing such corrupt, lawless and a lawbreaking character with unexplained millions of undeclared dollars in almost a dozen bank accounts remain in office?

We are so desensitized and used to corruption that it doesn't bother us, we even ignore corrupt public officials and instead fight and go after the people we actually pay to fight corruption.

If this is how we truly feel about corruption and criminal acts, then maybe we should just abolish all our law enforcement agencies and save the billions we budget on their behalf every year.

In other words, we should Lynch and burn a thief in the street when caught because they robbed us...? Right?

That is what your master Buhari is attempting to do isn't it ? Destroy the law enforcement agencies.

Drag Onnoghen to NJC. If he is guilty send him to CCB. If he fails there, arraignment him before a competent court, try him and pass judgement.

Why is that so difficult for the herdsman-in-chief and his followers to comprehend ?

He’s not a judge in his own case, there are other Supreme Court Justice that can handle his case if it ever gets past the NJC.

It's for those reasons that there are laws in the land,no matter how strong or right we may feel about out our sentiments if they are not recognize by law then we just have to keep them within us for the law to be effective n the goodness of the larger society, there is no law that says one who is accuse must resign if this were to be the case danladi should not be sitting on the panel of the CCT, now it's emerging that the so call ex parte order given by the CCT is neither genuine nor legal, something tells me osibanjo was sidelined in this dubious n dangerous plot by the cabal in the presidency thus laying credence to the suspicion of the pursuit of a hidden agenda,no one is saying onoghen should not be tried but simply let the law n it's process be duely followed,all true patroits should say no to what buhari has done.

If you kill a man who killed your dad , will the law set you free ? Nope ! You will go to jail
The issue is not about the CJN if corrupt or not .it is the fact that PMB has no powers to suspend him .....
To suspend the CJN the senate has to approve it ....
You may not like it but that is the law ....
In democracy , the president has limited powers so he won't abuse it ..
So what PMB can do or should have done is to lobby the senate to approve the CJN removal.
Did you note that Trump has to shutdown government when the senate refuse to approve his building of the Mexican wall ?
If Trump goes ahead to use the money without the senate approval he would be impeached. So Trump blackmail them till they approve it .
So PMB should have use another means to make Senate approve his dismissal .simple
PMB can't do whatever he wants no matter how good he thinks it is ...
What he has done is illegal and he has to follow nornal process..He can't jump the process

1. It is not a crime to forget to disclose assets in Nigeria. It becomes a crime when those assets are certified to belong to you after you might have refused to declare them and denied owning them.

Please read the Law governing declaration of assets by public officials.

2.

Please clarify what in the constitution the CJN has breached.

3.

The sence in allowing him remain in office is that he remains innocent until proven guilty. Please note also that judges are not allowed to make statements in public fora, and whilst his accusers have chosen to try him in the court of public opinion, no one has heard his side of the story. Meanwhile even the government categorised the funds found in the Account as 'suspect' funds. They themselves have not even finished investigation to determine that those funds transcend from being 'suspect' , to being actual proceeds of crime.

3. When you say millions of dollars it is quite deceptive. What the government is saying I believe is that the TURN OVER in those accounts since 2012 allegedly run into millions. They are not saying that that is the actual account balance. They argue that the Judge from his salary could not have TURNED OVER that much money over the period in review. Yet, they have not said whether he had investments or not, whether or not he has earned money from such business endeavours or not.

Again all these monies were held in his name and in Nigerian banks. Does it make any sence that when he was vetted for months before being confirmed as CJN this government did not know of the existence of those accounts or are they just finding out?

Corruption is bad, and I pray that we overcome corruption in this country. But can we utilize illegality to overcome illegality?

Wrong!!!!!!!.........
Buhari by law has the right to suspend anyone he appoints, but may not be able to sack or remove them totally.....so dont confuse suspension with sacking or removal....truly he needs senate approval to remove him permanently or sack him....so if u read his orders carefully, you'll agree with me he said 'suspended' till after investigation which can either nail him or acquit him.....moreover the position of cjn requires high level of morality n 'holiness'.....he himself alluded to the fact d@ he forgot to list those items in his declaration form,...my brother I FORGOT NO DEY FOR LAW, OF WHICH HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER AS CJN.....he should have resigned honorably instead of being hounded out of office....I'm not taking sides with anyone, mine is lets condemn his own grave offense being the cjn

But lets face the fact...he's the cjn and head of njc, tell me who among the judges will nail or the njc should nail him and sack, its like saying the FEC should sack the president when he does something impeachable....you and I both know the njc and the courts won't have the balls to do d@....plus all the loopholes the constitution has intentionally created like all this phony injunctions and all others these lawyers feed on to truncate justice and bend it in their favor....so tell me can any good justice com from the courts or njc he superintends .....
Now answer this question... ISN'T IT MORAL FOR THE CJN TO HAVE STEPPED ASIDE OR RESIGN TO PROVE HIS CASE AND BE JUSTIFIED KNOWING FULLY WELL THE HIGH MORAL STANDARD AND 'HOLINESS' OF HIS OFFICE AS CJN........he shouldn't be found wanting or with questionable character.....
On buhari issue, he acted within his power to suspend him till his case is proven otherwise, he didnt sack him....the cjn case is the main issue, not buharis orders.....so let's actually condemn the cjn as 'he who must come to equity must come with clean hands'

Buhari has not done anything unheard of in Nigeria. GEJ suspended Ayo Salami & Sanusi heaven did not fall. Nigeria Constitution is mute on suspension of a CJN but gives guidelines on removal.
