589

The Code of Conduct Tribunal ( CCT ) has adjourned to January 28 for the hearing of the motion by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) challenging its jurisdiction to hear the non-disclosure of assets charge filed against him by the Federal Government.

The tribunal, though had elected, in a ruling delivered a moment ago, to continue to conduct proceedings in the case, it, however, chose to adjourn when lawyer to the CJN, Wole Olanipekun said he needed time to reply to a motion served on him on Tuesday by the prosecution.

The tribunal then adjourned to enable Olamipekun respond and said it would hear the CJN’s motion at the next adjourned date.
