The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has accused the federal government of plotting to crumble the farmland of Walter Onnoghen, suspended chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), in Nasarawa state.<\/p>\n

Imo Ugochinyere, CUPP\u2019s spokesman, made this allegation in a statement on Tuesday, CUPP also alleged that workers in the farm of the suspended CJN located in Uke in Nasarawa state have been threatened by persons who disguised as herdsmen to leave their place of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have credible intelligence that the visitors to the farm were arranged by the government, all to ensure the farm is crumbled and every other source of income of the CJN is blocked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legal team of the CJN has written to the appropriate security agencies complaining of the warning and threats by the herdsmen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said government has been going after the lawyers defending Onnoghen who is standing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged false assets declaration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the Senior Advocates on the team of the CJN have been trailed, their offices and homes being circled and monitored, their telephones bugged and most of them have had reports from their bankers that their account statements have been obtained by the security agencies and certain instructions placed on some types of transactions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, subtle threats of arrest have been handed down in a puerile attempt to intimidate, harass, scare and force them to abandon the professional job they have undertaken as provided in law.<\/p>

\u201cNeighbours near the Wuye office of one of the Senior Advocates are already apprehensive due to the activities of the security agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ugohinyere added that the government had also been encouraging spread of fake news against Onnoghen.<\/p>\n

He said the presidency had alleged that the suspended CJN hid billions of naira, dollars, pounds and euros in his various accounts yet has been unable to file any of such in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Presidency encouraged the spread of the fake news that the CJN owns 55 choice properties in several plum areas of Abuja, Lagos, Calabar and other cities in and out of Nigeria, yet till date, has not disclosed the address of any of such houses because the houses only exist in their imagination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attempt to use the spread of fake news is one that will fail and fall like a pack of cards. The Federal Government knows they do not have anything on the CJN hence their resort to purchasing a contrived Exparte Order which the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal shamelessly said he would want to cement by allowing the prosecution to move the motion on notice seeking the same prayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe collusion between the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal is tending towards criminal and the Nigerian Bar Association is hereby called upon to immediately commence an inquest into the circumstances that led to the granting of the Exparte Order upon which the President claimed to have acted to unlawfully to force the CJN out of office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
