Onnoghen: EFCC detectives, others may appear before NJC

Some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detectives may appear before the National Judicial Council (NJC) on their findings on suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen and other issues. The Nation has learnt.

Also to appear before the NJC are officials of some other intelligence agencies.

All relevant desks and detectives were placed on standby yesterday pending the invitation of the NJC.

Also, those who petitioned the NJC, such as the Anti-corruption and Research Based Data Initiative, Mr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) and others are expected to defend their claims and present evidence to the NJC.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said the NJC had received responses from Onnoghen and the Acting CJN.
