EFCC re-arraigns High Court judge over alleged corruption

has re-arraigned a dismissed judge of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court, Mohammed Yunusa, at an Ikeja Special Offences Court.The two are facing fresh eight-count charges of corruption.Mr Yunusa had faced a four-count charge of attempted perversion of the course of justice and corruption by a public official, while Ms Agbo was charged with offering gratification to a public official

“He was also the counsel in suit no FHC/L/CS/716/2015 between Hair Prestige Manufacturing Ltd and three others vs EFCC and two others during the time Yunusa presided over these matters as a judge. The offences contravene sections 63, 64 , 97 of the Criminal Law of Lagos 2011 and sections 9 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.

“The document contains information like text messages, photographs and other communications with Rickey Tarfa and several individuals, including the first defendant . The communications are numerous. I will highlight one or two. The EFCC investigator was presented with four exhibits by the prosecution; Exhibit F, Exhibit G, Exhibit H and Exhibit K.

Exhibit H is the court process of Jide Adelakun and one other vs Chairman of the EFCC, FHC/L/CS/1285/2015. Exhibit K is the court process of Federal Republic of Nigeria vs Joseph Nwobike on suit number LD/3516C/2016. “The lodgement of N250,000 on March 19 2015 came from Dr Joseph Nwobike who had interest in the suit marked Exhibit K.

While being cross-examined by the counsel to Ms Agbo, John Odubela , Mr Danladi was queried about whether the suits were pending before the former judge as he had claimed before the N1.5million deposit was made by Ms Agbo into Mr Yunusa’s account.

Keep it up. I'm now proud to be a Nigerian
