N5m Bribe:  Court Admits More Evidence Against Ofili-Ajumogobia
Justice O.H. Oshodi of the State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Thursday, June 1, 2017, admitted in evidence a document tendered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against a serving Federal High Court judge, Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia.

Ofili-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 offence on May 21, 2015, when they conspired to pervert the course of justice with the sum of N5m.

In her ruling on the admissibility of evidence today, Justice Oshodi over-ruled the objection raised by O. Akoni, SAN, and Robert Clarke, SAN, defence counsels to the first defendant, and Chief Ferdinard O. Obi, SAN, defence counsel to the second defendant, respectively.
Justice Oshodi ruled that “the witness cannot and should not be rejected from giving evidence in relation to the case.” Counsel to the first defendant, Akoni, had sought the leave of the court to enable his client, Ofili-Ajumogobia, who is said to be suffering from high blood pressure and stress-related issues, to travel to the US for urgent medical attention.

Ruling on the application, the judge said: “I believe that the first defendant as a Federal High Court Judge has a lot to lose if she considers the idea of jumping bail. “The Chief Registrar is hereby ordered to release the international passport of the first defendant to enable her travel abroad between June 7 and June13, 2017. “The defendant must return the passport to the Chief Registrar on or before July 1, 2017.” Justice Oshodi also granted the second defendant, Obla, leave to travel to Houston, Texas, US for medical treatment.

Obla was ordered to return his passport to the Chief Registrar on July 4, 2017.

The case was adjourned to July 6, 2017 for continuation trial.
