**Nigeria's Chief Judge Embroiled in Bank Account Scandal** In a shocking revelation, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Terhemba Tsoho, has been accused of violating Nigeria's Code of Conduct law by failing to declare several bank accounts in his asset declaration form. This comes after a thorough investigation by PREMIUM TIMES, which has uncovered a web of unaccounted-for bank accounts. According to our findings, Justice Tsoho, who is the head of Nigeria's federal high court system, failed to disclose several bank accounts with United Bank for Africa and Access Bank. This includes three separate UBA accounts and one Access Bank account, which were not included in his asset declaration form submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau on April 29, 2024. Under Nigeria's Code of Conduct regime, public officials are required to disclose all their assets, including bank accounts and the funds held in them. Failure to do so can lead to severe sanctions, including removal from office. However, it remains unclear whether our findings will trigger investigations by the Code of Conduct Bureau and other anti-corruption agencies. This scandal has sparked memories of the case of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, who was removed from office in 2019 for failing to declare some of his bank accounts. If found guilty, Justice Tsoho could face similar sanctions, including removal from office and forfeiture of improperly declared assets. The Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act mandates public officers to declare all their properties, assets, and liabilities immediately after taking office and at specified intervals. The law is clear that any asset acquired after a declaration and not reasonably attributable to legitimate income, gifts, or approved loans shall be presumed to have been unlawfully acquired. The implications of this scandal are far-reaching, and it remains to be seen how the Chief Judge will respond to these allegations. As Nigeria continues to grapple with corruption and governance issues, this development serves as a stark reminder of the need for accountability and transparency in public office. In a statement, Justice Tsoho's office did not respond to multiple calls seeking comment. The Code of Conduct Bureau and other anti-corruption agencies have yet to comment on the matter.
