Justice O.H. Oshodi of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, on Monday, April 10, 2017, refused an application filed by a Federal High Court Judge, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, seeking leave of the court to enable her travel abroad for a medical check.


Politics Nigeria discovered that Justice Ajumogobia is standing trial alongside Godwin Obla, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, on a 30-count charge bordering on an alleged perversion of the course of justice, unlawful enrichment and forgery.
The defendants allegedly committed the offences on May 21, 2015, when they conspired to pervert the course of justice with N5million.


At today’s hearing, the prosecution counsel, Idris .A. Muhammad, told the court that the first defendant, Ajumogobia, through his counsel, Robert Clarke, SAN, had sought the leave of court to travel out of the country for medical check in an application dated March 7, 2017.

The prosecution counsel further told the court that counsel for the first defendant had also filed an application dated April 4, 2017, challenging the jurisdiction of the court to try his client.
In his ruling on the applications, Justice Oshodi refused the first defendant’s application seeking leave of the court to travel abroad for a medical check on the grounds that the application challenging the jurisdiction of the court must be heard first before other issues could be attended to.


Justice Oshodi also declined an application filed by Ifedayo Adedipe, SAN, seeking leave of the court to allow his client, Obla, to travel abroad for a medical check.


The judge said:

‘‘whatever decisions made by the court in the matter must affect both parties, since it is a joint trial.’’


Consequently, counsel for the first defendant sought to temporarily withdraw the application challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear the matter so as not to delay further proceedings.
However, Justice Oshodi maintained that the application had been brought before the court and would be heard before other pending applications.


The case was adjourned to April 28, 2017, for a continuation of trial.

Have you asked Buhari?

How did he respond?

Until he has been found guilty of such I'd say his is a one off case.

The president who should lead by example is doing medical tourism in London every month.
Do you think that the judge is stupid?
Everyone should follow the example of our president o jare.
Only foolish people will not do what their leader is doing.
I hope that you are not foolish. Are you?

Come out clearly and say what is on your mind, bro.

Is she Buhari

The learned defence counsel that challenged the jurisdiction of the court wrecked the chances of grabbing a positive hearing on any other motion.
By him or the other defending party.

Courts view jurisdiction challenge as a delay tactic especially when they believe they have jurisdiction.

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Is she Buhari

Is Buhari not our president?
Should we not follow his example as our leader?
Is that not what followers do- simply do the same thing that the leader is doing?
