Prominent lawyer, Rickey Tarfa(SAN) yesterday approached a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) and its acting chairman, Ibrahim Mustapha Magu to pay him N2.5billion compensation. This is coming less than 24 hours after Tarfa was granted an administrative bail by the EFCC Lagos office. EFCC has however filed a two-count charge of obstruction of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice against Tarfa.


The anti-graft agency accused Tarfa of willfully obstructing two authorised officers of the EFCC, Moses Awolusi and Sanusi Mohammed from arresting Gnanhooue Sourou and Nazaire Odeste, who were suspected to have committed economic and financial crimes in contravention of Section 38(2) (a) of the EFCC Establishment Act of 2004. In count two, Tarfa was accused of engaging in improper communication with Justice M. Yunusa of the Federal High Court Lagos between May 11 and June 25, 2015 while the case between the EFCC and two others was ongoing.


At the Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday, Tarfa was accompanied by 32 Senior Advocates of Nigeria(SAN) led by the former President, Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Chief Wole Olanipekun.Tarfa is asking the court to compel the defendants which included Moses Awolusi, the operatives that arrested him and the Deputy Director Operations(EFCC) Lagos office, Iliyasu Kwarbai, to release his two mobile handsets deceitfully collected from him on Friday,5th February, 2016 at their Ikoyi office in Lagos. Tarfa is also urging the court to direct the defendants to release his Mercedes Benz SUV with registration No. KJA 700CG which was unlawfully seized from him.

Like Saraki and his 40 thieves. Like Tarfa and his also. Reason of accompanying.

When this season film go end bikonu?

When shall we begin to see news items like "Govment sets up Entrepreneur Development Bank with $500mil as take-off" or similar youth development programes!

...& my girl just gave this episode of this season film a lovely name: "the battle of the Zangas"! Imagine SANs & detectives de fight in front of SANs' friends (judges)!

Tarfa (san) dnt bother urslf, no matter the ruling of the court, efcc will still nt comply. This is the new norm in nigeria. So shameful.

32 SANS? oh truly the man is silly

Good! It is going to be a T. K. O, EFCC will soon be broke

32 chaa!! omo boys are not smiling ooh

Rickey Tarfa(SAN) must have being a very nice lawyer among his colleague for Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) to have led about 32 SANs legal team on his behalf. Given the egocentric charater of some lawyers, It is very rare to hear a number of SANs coming out en masse for one of their own especially on a matter of serious allegation of offence. I recalled only few junior and senior lawyer led protest when chief Mike Ohzekhome(SAN) was kidnpped


#NaijaLegalAnalyst

The similarities in (S) senator / sans. ole meji

Bros no be curse,

What a jobless nation. Anyway I can see the reason why. N2.5billion no be small money.

Good the impunity ought to stop how can you lock up a SAN just like that without charging him to court if you suspect him of any wrong doing. They want to intimidate the judiciary as they have silence the opposition and pocketed the legislature.

Onodray:
EFCC tink dey mess wit anybody, lets watch n see

32 wetin

Mehn the guy mean, which kain Barcelona over squad be that?

Who will then charge efcc to court because they are as corrupt as most of the people they've been arresting. Let efcc tell Nigerians why they decided to suddenly start doing their jobs;where were they all these years when the corrupt people were getting away with their crime-ofcourse efcc was busy taking bribe from them and fighting the perceived enemies of those in power. Efcc must be probed as well!
