About twenty-five lawyers have approached an Abuja Federal High Court sitting, asking it to terminate further hearing on suit challenging what they termed as illegal suspension of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN Justice Walter Onnoghen,
The plaintiffs, led by human rights activist Johnmary Jideobi, said they decided to discontinue the suit after they got information that Justice Onnoghen had surrendered to pressure and voluntarily tendered a resignation letter to the 1st defendant, President Buhari.
They told the Court that chasing the legal action to its logical conclusion would amount to crying more than the bereaved, notwithstanding the fact that the matter was earlier fixed to be heard on May 23rd
