Onnoghen appeals conviction
Former Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen has appealed his conviction by the Code of Conduct Tribunal Thursday afternoon for false asset declaration.

Onnoghen, however, identified 16 grounds warranting his appeal to upturn his conviction.
He also sought seven reliefs from the court including “an order setting aside his conviction.
