Appeal Court Rejects Onnoghen's Motion to Stop his CCT Trial | CNR
Walter Onnoghen |
On Wednesday, the court ruled that the suit filed by Onnoghen was "brought in a vacuum", and was not backed by legal provisions on the reasons it should be granted.
It said a court has inherent jurisdiction to grant stay of proceedings where it is certified that enough evidence has been given for such.
It also said the charges filed against Onnoghen are criminal in nature and the proceedings before the CCT could not be stopped.
The court, thereafter, held that the stay of proceedings would not be granted.
