Asset declaration charges against me ‘invalid, useless’ — Onnoghen
He is facing a six-count charge before the CCT for allegedly failing to declare his asset after 2005.
Regarding count one of the charge, Mr Awomolo said the CCB accused Mr Onnoghen of failing to declare his asset between 2005 to 2015.“Count one alleges that between 2005 to 2015, the defendant did not file any asset firm. No report of investigation to show that this is true. He then added that the Supreme Court had ruled during a similar case involving the Senate President, that such verification was necessary.
Mr Awomolo also faulted the admissibility of the bank documents, stressing that they were addressed to an institution other than the parties involved in the matter. “Section 84 and are mandatory. Where there is non-compliance to the sections, the documents cannot be admissible.” According to Mr Umar, the government has investigated Mr Onnoghen, applied to the tribunal for his trial and was granted permission to try the defendant.
Mr Umar added that the arguments brought forward by the defence that the prosecution failed to bring some witnesses should not be entertained.
