Dennis Aghanya, who accused Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, of failing to declare his assets has alleged threat to life.
Aghanya’s petition led to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) filing a case of non-assets declaration and money laundering against the CJN before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The activist, who is the Executive Secretary, Anti-Corruption and Research- Based Data Initiative, also said he was approached to withdraw the petition against the CJN in exchange for a huge sum of money, Saturday Punch reported.
Aghanya said, “Since this petition came to light, they have been sending friends and families to me and at the same time issuing threats. They are giving me two options: If I don’t accept, I would go down six feet. If I mention the amount they are offering, it is something a hungry man would accept, something they cannot resist, big money, as much as a billion naira.”
He stated that as a human being, he is afraid for his life.
“I’m human, but then, it is God that gives life. Because I am a good Christian, I don’t feel bothered. If I were to be killed, do you know the kind of enemies I have had to contend with since I was born? The enemies would come, they would rise, do all sorts of things, but if God is with you, all those things would be in vain,” he stated.
