CJN Walter Onnoghen 

It's been reported by signal, that CJN Walter Onnoghen has resigned with immediate effect. A senior lawyer in his team has confirmed this.
“I have just spoken with him. He confirmed to me that he resigned voluntarily yesterday (Thursday),” the senior advocate who said he did not have Onnoghen’s authorisation to speak on the issue said.
The suspended chief justice of Nigeria had earlier submitted his resignation letter to buhari on Tuesday, just 24 hours after National Judicial Council concluded investigating him for various allegations of misconduct.
There has not been an official confirmation of his resignation; while his spokesperson, Mr. Awassam Bassey, has yet to answer his calls.
