A Federal High Court in Lagos
has thrown out an application
by a prominent lawyer, Ricky
Tarfa, SAN, seeking to stop the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission from prosecuting
him.
The EFCC had on February 8
slammed a two-count charge on
him bordering on obstruction of
justice and attempting to
pervert the course of justice.
Mr. Tarfa, who was arrested on
February 5 by EFCC operatives
for allegedly hiding two suspects
– Nazaire Sorou Gnanhoue and
Modeste Finagnon – in his
Mercedes Benz Sports Utility
Vehicle, SUV, with the intent of
shielding them from being
arrested, had gone to court
seeking to stop his prosecution
by the EFCC.
But on Friday, the court threw
out his application, thus clearing
the way for his prosecution by
the EFCC.
The judge however, ruled that
the anti-graft agency must
respect Mr. Tarfa’s fundamental
human rights.

Ricky Tarfa is in for it.

The call logs are even a different matter that will aid in the prosecution of the original case, with him now being one of the accused, and no longer the defence attorney.

Buhari MAKA WHY?

Serves him right!!!!!...I have said it and will repeat it that lawyers and judges are part of the problem facing this country....

The 20 Abobaku SANs that followed him to court thought they could use their numbers and position to intimidate the courts into granting undue favours to the criminal, now they've been ordered to shove their shenanigans up their rectal openings.

Good for him I must say.

Hypocrites, those who claim to be fighting for rule of law and human right, but never want the rule of law to apply to them.

Judiciary look inward.

I won't be surprised if that Dauda abi wetin be him name, wey dey defend saraki, is also found wanting of criminal activity. That guy na so so accused corrupt fellow he dey defend, from ibori to saraki to dasuki.
Lawyers & Judges destroying nation since 1900bc.
Happy B'day to Me, Myself & I

NaijaLegalAnalyst wish him and EFCC success as the trial is set to commence.

But I hate to hear someone trying to stall trial. For what, I ask. The sane society we crave for is for everybody to be equal before the law.

I can see sarcasm aint your thing.
I understand the post, what i don't understand is how is this an economical or financial crime, I don't think EFCC should be handling this case. This is a civil case and should be handled by the police in that unit.
