ONNOGHEN: SIMPLY SHAMELESS.

ICHEOKU says Nasir el-Rufai was indeed right that former Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, is shameless. Look at a very corrupt person trying to explain away a consistent deposits of nearly the same tranches of money, as profits from his currency trading and you wonder when did he open a bureau du change or was he simply converting bribery proceeds paid to him in Naira into dollars to sustain their value. 

That this man has not been put in handcuffs and paraded before the cameras is the worst scandal unfolding in Nigeria. If the alleged transactions were from his trading in foreign exchange, FOREX and AGRICODE, where are the documentations backing the various transactions? Also where are the tax papers evidencing the taxes which he paid on the income and profits from so trading? Further, he alleged that some of the deposits were sourced from his "reserve" and you ask yourself what reserve or has the former chief justice become the Central Bank of Nigeria, with his own foreign currency reserve. Further, how much was his grand estacode that he could save tens of thousands of dollars, as evidenced in the frequency with which those deposits were made? 

ICHEOKU says how much medical expenses were paid to him and how many times was he actually in fact sick and hospitalized to warrant such a heavy amount of medical expenses being paid to him. Why were the "medical expenses" even paid to him and not paid directly to the hospital from which he sought and received the treatments. Why would the former judge collect medical expenses when he was not sick and did not expend any money treating himself. This is exactly what Corruption 101 looks like, that a person who was not sick collected such a very high medical expenses; while ordinary citizens who are in fact really sick could not find any succor in the destitute medical institutions nor had the means to pay their charges and fees in bills. 

Yet this mongrel is who some crazy loonies are still defending his actions and questioning why he was fired, a firing which even came too little too late as he deserved to have been fired since last decade. How could any sane person not find such a flagrant abuse of office, monetizing the judiciary and the administration of justice, a violation of everything they hold dear to their conscience. How could any decent person stand a Chief Justice of his or her country making out like bandit from selling justice to the highest bidders and still find such a slime ball admirable enough to be shielded and protected. What exactly moves or rattles the conscience of Nigerians if this scandal is not enough or are these Nigerians not actually looking into the allegation, but are too incensed at the president that they are prepared to throw everything to the winds, provided the president is disparaged.

ICHEOKU says with all his claimed forgetfulness about the various transactions, one begins to wonder whether he is also suffering from amnesia and dementia like the president, and ought to have retired from office by reason of incapacity; rather than to hang in there only to now be disgraced out of office. How can a lawyer, a judge and Chief Justice of a country, forgot that he had millions of dollars and billions of Naira deposited in several bank accounts in his name. How can he also not know that it is illegal not to declare your assets as a public servant. This former Justice Walter Onnoghen reeks of corruption and in fact he criminally abused his high office in the land as the former Chief Justice of Nigeria and deserves to have the book thrown at him, at least to make an example of him on how not to be a corrupt Chief Justice.

ICHEOKU says does not know about you, but this guy is a source of shame to the judiciary and everybody involved in the legal profession. He has given the law an indelible mark of calumny and the damage which he caused to the dispensation of justice in Nigeria is irreparable. How can such an endemically corrupt fellow be serving as the chief presiding officer of the judiciary for this long before being discovered. It is pitiful and it is SAD and also inexplicable, as there is nothing to explain or understand with such a wanton abuse of office, a Chief Justice parceling out "justice" according to the highest bidder. In fact that guy is lucky that ICHEOKU is not running things, otherwise he would have been since locked away in detention, following a very public humiliating arrest; handcuffed like the common criminal which he is and frog marched into detention. What a pathetic and shameless fella, caught with his hands in the cookie jar, yet had the temerity to insult every body's intelligence with such a buffoonery cockamamie of an explanation.  Simply shameless. Lock him up and seize his assets.
