Suspend Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen who has been accused of corruption has filed a suit against the federal government over his suspension.

The suit was filed by his lawyers, Wole Olanipekun, Adegboyega Awomolo, Kanu Agabi and James Onoja.

Recall that the Federal Government had on Friday suspended Onnoghen acting on the order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.

A new acting CJN, Ibrahim Mohammed was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The suspension, however, prompted the Nigerian Bar Association to call for a boycott of  activities in court which has been ignored.
