It seems the woes of the immediate former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen are nothing but over.

According to reports circulating, the President, Muhammadu Buhari, has placed a travel ban on former CJN.

Onnoghen’s woes begin during the months leading up to the general elections. He was convicted of not declaring his assets and was allegedly in possession of monies larger than his legitimate earnings.

According to an Immigration Service internal report, Mr Onnoghen was allegedly on his way out of the country with his wife and daughter when immigration officers intercepted them. They were allegedly on their way to Accra, Ghana.

According to the report, “On November 11, 2019, retired Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, was attempting to travel to Accra, Ghana. He was in company with his wife, Nkoyo, and daughter.

“His passport, with number A50445233, was flagged because Justice Onnoghen’s name was on the watch list. The passport is currently in custody of the NIS.”
