Nwobike Paid N750,000 In Justice Yunusa’s Account - Witness by LocalChamp: 10:14pm On Apr 22, 2016
A witness in the ongoing trial of Dr Joseph Nwobike SAN, who is standing trial for allegedly bribing a Federal High Court judge, today told a Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere, how the senior lawyer paid N750,000(Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) into Justice Mohammed Nasir Yunusa's bank account with Zenith bank.

The witness, Oyekunle Aderemi, a compliance officer with Zenith Bank made the disclosure when he was confronted with the statement account of the defendant. In the account statement, the witness identified the transaction of 19 March 2015 where the defendant paid the sum of N750, 000 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) into Justice Yunusa’s account.

Earlier, the prosecution had moved to tender the account statement but the defence counsel, O. Akanni, SAN, objected to the admissibility of the document. But when the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, applied to withdraw the document, Akanni dramatically withdrew his objection and the document was admitted and marked as exhibit P2.

Oyedepo also led the second prosecution witness, Oliver Owaremi, also a compliance officer with Access Bank in evidence. He told the court that his bank received a request from EFCC seeking an account information on Hawa Ajiya Nigeria Limited, a company that was alleged to be part of the channels the defendant used to transfer money to Justice Yunusa. Another Federal High Court Judge, Justice Hyeledzira Nganjiwa Ajiya was said to be the owner and sole signatory of the company's account.

From this account, the witness showed the debit transaction of N300,000 to Justice Yunusa from the company’s account on 30 November, 2015. During cross examination, the witness said that, apart from the transactions of 28 September, 2015 and that of 30 November, 2015 there was no other transactions between Joseph Nwobike and Hawa Ajiya or Justice Yunusa.

Justice Adebiyi adjourned the matter to 12, 26 and 30 May, 2016 for continuation of trial.

Nigeria is really going crazy. Everywhere is upside down and some set of individuals still think we don't need a strict, fearless and formidable leader at the helm of affairs of this nation. Thank God for president Buhari for bringing sanity to the system. At least normal citizens are very much aware of the rot in every system of this country. Let the judge and lawyer face their music.

You're in the spirit. Read my mind perfectly. In fact this whole news disgusts me and anyone with a trained sense of decency will concur.

[size=16pt]So many incompetent SANS. From the ongoing it is easier to conclude that they attained their revered SAN status by bribery and corruption.
This is a proof that in Nigerian courts, victory is accomplished not by LAWYERS THAT KNOW THE LAW BUT BY LAWYERS THAT KNOW THE JUDGE[/size]

This line is becoming stale as well. With the introduction of prepaid meters, cutting lines is not an issue and there is no excuse why there'll be no light, not even for half a day in an entire week. The goats are simply not bothered because whether or not you use electricity for one year, they are sure of #9,000 annually from the consumer in the name of service charge.
Abeg, stop defending those power guys.
