Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday issued a seven-day ultimatum to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, to show cause on why he should not be disqualified from further prosecuting a former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu in N7.2 billion money laundering charges.
Justice Ekwo made the order while delivering a ruling on a motion filed by Rotimi Jacobs Chambers, seeking the transfer of the trial to the Lagos State division of the court. The Judge ordered that the motion on notice would be adopted on October 31, during which the court would determine the fate of the senior Lawyer one way or the other.
Justice Ekwo held that the Prosecution had twice written the Chief Judge requesting for the transfer, which the Chief Judge declined to do, adding that he ought to abide by the decision of the court authorities.
