“Consequent upon the fact that the Commission had presented Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia before the NJC for disciplinary action and that the NJC had taken a position, the Commission would now approach the court to prefer fresh charges her."The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said it rearrested Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, a former judge of the Federal High Court, in order to file a fresh criminal charge against her.
In his ruling, the judge struck out the 31-count charge bordering on an alleged perversion of the course of justice, unlawful enrichment and forgery filed by the EFCC against Ofili-Ajumogobia and Godwin Obla, on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the suit. Citing the case of Nganjiwa V FRN as precedent, he ruled that the High Court lacked the jurisdiction to hear the suit as the EFCC"jumped the gun" in filing the first amended charge.
“As of that date, the amended information was yet to be filed and the 12 prosecution witnesses were still giving evidence.”
Wetin Musa no go see for gate. I've heard enough rubbish in Nigeria.
Magu, should know learn from Al'mustapha. Once a strong man but, after Abacha died Al'mustapha he too tasted the horrific experience he subjected people to while in power.
Buhari, Magu, Sagay and Kayomo has not.won any case in court not this one they will win, they are only good media trial.
I hope the CCT Man will take a queue from the High Court Judge?
Thanks
