The EFCC has supplied details of how Rickey Tarfa SAN bribed Justice Mohammed Yunusa of the Federal High. In an affidavit filed in the court today, to counter the N2.5 billion suit instituted against EFCC by Rickey Tarfa, evidence of transfer of N225,000 to Justice Yunusa's account was supplied.
Equally supplied was an SMS from Mr. Yunusa through which he acknowledged the receipt of the bribe from Mr. Tarfa. The affidavit also included other SMS messages showing requests from other lawyers in Mr. Tarfa’s practice specifically requesting the Chief Registrar to assign certain cases filed by them to Mr. Yunusa. Evidence was also provided showing that Mr. Tarfa and his associates won all cases assigned to Mr. Yunusa’s court.

Rickey Tarfa's call logs to show regular communication with Mr. Yunusa when the 3 cases were pending, evidence of which was also outlined in the affidavit. Apart from arguing that Mr. Tarfa was lawfully arrested for obstructing the arrest of his clients, the EFCC justified the seizure of his car where he had held his clients for over 5 hours in the premises of the high court.

The EFCC further stated that the handsets with which Mr. Tarfa was communicating with Mr. Yunusa have become exhibits in the criminal case pending against him in the Lagos High Court. The EFCC counsel, Mr. W. K Shitu, has therefore motioned that Justice M. B. Idris dismiss the N2.5 billion claim by Mr. Tarfa.

Oponu. N225 million is not a better money abi? From a lawyer to a judge. Use your head jare.

New Nigeria activated. one of the reason why dollar is scarce is that many of our yam eaters have withdrawn their money(naira) and are now exchanging them to dollar at all cost to be easily hiding in their houses as the bank is no longer safe for them to hide money. With the sincerity in the operation of BVN, it only take a click of button and all your transactions from generation to generation will be exposed.
