He was, however, granted bail on self-recognition and trial adjourned till March 11 when the tribunal will hear all pending applications by both the defence and the prosecution. Onnoghen pleaded not guilty to the six-count charges preferred against him by the government. Although the defense team led by Chris Uche (SAN) pleaded that the suspended CJN take his plea from the bench, Umar bluntly refused. He insisted that Onnoghen be docked.
