Onnoghen: MURIC hails tribunal’s conviction, want Tanko sworn-in

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has hailed the conviction of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.

The MURIC Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, in a statement yesterday shortly after the conviction said it will serve as a lesson for other judges who are tempted to tow the same line with Onnoghen.

According to him, there must be a clear distinction between the temple of justice and the stock exchange market while the homes of judges must not, at any point in time, be mistaken for the bureau de change.

The group blamed the suspended CJN for grandstanding when he could have made the best of the time by resigning when the president asked him to do so over three months ago.
