flag Nigeria’s top judge faces asset probe over undeclared accounts and $160K cash haul; immunity debate rages.

flag Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau is investigating Federal High Court Chief Judge John Tsoho over alleged undeclared assets, including foreign and local bank accounts, with his wife intercepted by the EFCC carrying $160,000 in cash. flag The CCB has scheduled Tsoho’s appearance for March 16, 2026, amid legal debate over whether judges are immune from such probes. flag Legal scholar Chidi Anselm Odinkalu asserts judges are not immune, citing past cases and constitutional law, while the Nigerian Bar Association argues only the National Judicial Council can investigate sitting judges. flag No official statement has been released on the funds’ origin, and Tsoho denies wrongdoing, maintaining full compliance with disclosure laws.
