Aishat Opesanwo, the presiding judge of a
Lagos State High Court in Igbosere, says the
90-lawyer team paraded by Rickey Tarfa is
tantamount to harassment of court.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) had on Tuesday
arraigned Rickey Tarfa , a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria (SAN), on a two-count charge of
alleged obstruction of justice and attempt to
pervert justice.
Tarfa turned up in court with about 90-
lawyers, a good number of them being senior
advocates of Nigeria.
The act was condemned by Opesanwo, who
described the approach as tantamount to
“harassment and intimidation” of court.
“I find no need for this magnitude of support.
It is to harass and intimidate us on this side,”
she said.
The anti-graft agency arrested the senior
lawyer on February 5 for allegedly hiding two
Beninese suspects.
The suspects were alleged to have fraudulently
converted some equipment belonging to a
manufacturing firm, Rana Prestige Nigeria
Limited, for their own use.
Tarfa pleaded not guilty to the charges
levelled against him, requesting bail on self-
recognition.
“The accused has over 60 lawyers in his
chambers, four law chambers in the country
and other affliated law offices outside Nigeria,”
Adeniyi Akintola, Tarfa’s lawyer said, assuring
the court that his client would not jump bail.
Tarfa was granted bail at the hearing and the
case has been adjourned until March.
