Chief Judge Tsoho Commits to CCB Asset Declaration Process

Federal High Court Chief Judge John Tsoho has confirmed his commitment to cooperate with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) regarding his asset declaration form. The FHC clarified that his legal representative, Kanu Godwin Agabi, CON, SAN, is ready to accompany him to the CCB upon his return to Nigeria for medical reasons. The bureau has been informed that any date within the week commencing Monday, 16 March 2026, is convenient for the Chief Judge and his counsel. This follows Premium Times' report alleging undeclared bank accounts, though the CJ's response emphasizes his constitutional right to legal representation and due process. The development comes nearly two years after the Court of Appeal acquitted former CJN Samuel Onnoghen of similar charges, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of judicial officers' asset declarations.
