even if u flood the house with judges that is inconsequential what he has done is contrary to the law and if he is found guilty he must be made to face the law. I feel the SAN's are shameless and this are the lawyers the country have to beware of

Don't get it twisted we have different SANs in this country.....
Follow follow SAN
Chop make I chop SAN
Corrupt SAN
Almijiri SAN
Shameless SAN
Authentic SAN
Never won a case SAN
SAN for hire SAN

Jeess they are many to mention.....

SAN is no longer respected after the show of shame they partook in during Saraki's CCT trial....If you are as good as you claim to be as a SAN...only one or two can handle any case in Nigeria......

But as usual they trooped out to support a colleague (partner in shady business) just to save their own assssss when it reach their turn, as none of them is clean, to face the real music...........

God please save the poor who can't afford 90 iddiots to intimidate justice.

These sets of rogues were brought to the court to confuse the judge.

How can u bring 90 SANS to defend a case, they should knw that intimidation in a court is not allowed,

Under which rules of practice or rules of court?

Dottore:
Im sorry to say that many Nigerian lawyers are hopeless opportunist clowns. These 90 SANs are not there for solidarity support, its rather a field day of eye service. Remember that the accused had filed a suit of 2.5billion against the EFCC. These guys are seeing it as an opportunity to put heads together to see if they could intimidate the judge and win the case so they are following Tarfa the way houseflies follow a man with poo.
Imagine if through their intimidation and combined legal maneuver Tarfa is awarded half or even quarter of the amount in question and he gives them 30 to 50percent of the spoil to share amongst themselves.

The judge has been intimidated already. See the bail terms?

speak for yourself and profession man,leave engineering out of it!

If yu must know, most of these SANs constitutes the Body of Benchers. They can remove even the Chief Justice of Nigeria in a twinkle of an eye. In fact, if a SAN wants to see the Chief Justice of Nigeria, he doesn't need an appointment but let that judge come to see the CJN if he doesn't spend weeks trying to book an appointment.

That case is death on arrival and no wonder no SAN appeared for the EFCC this time around.

Rogue lawyers!!

90 end time Stupid Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) following a fellow rogue SAN to court to intimidate the judge! They are shameless indeed!! I wish someone could publish their names for the public to know the real enemies of Nigerians. They should be charged for copyright infringement as they just copied the concept from Saraki and fellow rogue Senators without permission!!! If I were the judge, I will simply jail the Tarfa and see if heavens will fall. These lawyers are unfit for a sane society, their place is in the jungle. Shioor.

It is not madness how these SANs flooded the court, it is to ensure non violation of the defendant's constitutional right to liberty. If I were Tarfa, I would have gone to court with double the number of those SANs!!!

Buhai wasn't wrong after all when he said his greatest concern is the judiciary because if the judiciary is sane they can bring both the executive and the legislative to their knees.

Correct.

You notice how the Judge quickly granted him bail based on self recognition.

Even the EFCC Lawyer knows his limits.

If Tafa should need 90 SANs to defend him before the court of man I wonder how many he will need in the court of GOD.

Mr Saraki did same, he went to court with the "whole" Senate. In Nigeria the wrong seems to be the right. Black man with very dark and black way of reasoning.

Only in this gaddamn country is there such a thing as SAN.

And apparently we got hundreds of the motherfucckers.

Dear learning colleague,
I beg to disagree. Your opinion is baseless. Support with facts. The truth is our leaders have failed us. Nigerians have also failed themselves because our leaders are but a reflection of the citizens.
Prolly cos you're still a Law student, your knowledge of Nigerian Law, substantive and procedural is yet to be holistic.
With time you'll get a clearer picture.

The presiding judge couldn't have put it any better. The appearance of 90 SANs for Rickey Tarfa who, indeed, by the Constitution is entitled to Counsel of his choice is indeed a villainous attempt to intimidate the Honorable Court. His right to Counsel of his choice is not an absolute right. It is qualified by the right of the court not to be intimidated by Counsel. Their action is to be deprecated and condemned. It puts the legal profession and indeed their rank in bad light in the eye of the public. Little wonder, some might say, why neither Jacobs SAN nor Opeseitan SAN were in court for EFCC as usual.

the moment they match into the court, mass murder would have serve them right. stupid bokoharam that should utilize their bomb skill at a time like this have been busy killing innocent people.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday arraigned a senior lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, before Justice Aishat Opesanwo of Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, on 2-count charge of obstruction of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Mr. Tarfa pleaded not guilty to both counts.
Based on his plea, the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo prayed the court for a trial date and to remand the defendant in custody.
However, Adeniyi Akintola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, who led a team of over 90 Senior Advocates and other lawyers to represent Mr. Tarfa, said they had filed an application for bail which he said was served on the prosecution on the 10th of February, 2016.
In his application for bail, the defence counsel told the court that the defendant went to court voluntarily and that he was granted administrative bail by EFCC on self-recognition.
He said the defendant was a very senior member of the bar with no criminal record. He said there was nothing to show that the defendant would jump bail.
However, prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, urged the court to dismiss the application as the offence was grave. He urged the court to dismiss the application and order for an accelerated hearing.


Justice Opesanwo, in her ruling, granted bail to Mr. Tarfa on self-recognition but ordered that he must not travel out of the country without the permission of the court.
The trial judge bemoaned the number of counsel who were in court for the defendant. She noted that there was no need for such magnitude of support as it amounts to harassment and intimidation of the court.
Soon after the ruling, Mr. Akintola told the court that he had filed an application to quash the charge.
Mr. Rotimi responded that he had not been served. He was subsequently served by the defence counsel in open court.
Justice Opesanwo adjourned the matter to March 14, for hearing of the application to quash the charge while the substantive case was fixed for April 20, 2016 for trial.
Mr. Ricky Tarfa, SAN, is accused of willfully obstructing two 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.
Also, he is alleged to have engaged 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 pending before the judge.
Count 1:
“That You Rickey Tarfa (SAN) on or about the 5th day of February, 2016 in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, wilfully obstructed Moses Awolusi and Sanusi Mohammed, authorized officer of Economic and Financial Crime Commission from arresting GNANHOUE SOUROU and NAZAIRE ODESTE who were reasonably suspected to have committed economic and financial crimes by keeping the said suspects in your car between 11.00 hours to 16: 30 hours”
Count 2:
“RICKEY TARFA (SAN) between 11th of May and 25th of June, 2015 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court attempted to pervert the course of justice by communicating with Hon. Justice M.N. Yunusa of the Federal High Court through your mobile Telephone No. 08034600000 whilst suit No: FHC/L/CS/715/2015 between Rana Prestige Industries Nigeria and EFCC and Suit No: FHC/L/CS/716 between Hair Prestige Manufacturing Nigeria and EFCC filed by you on behalf of the applicants in the two suits seeking to retrain the commission from performing its statutory duties were pending before the said judge”.

Aromas:
And the worst path is Wole Olanipekun SAN who lead his colleagues to defend Rickey Tarfa. The only SAN who defend the thief and the owner

are you sane at all? where was Wole Olanipekun mentioned in this story?

Shut up. If i had heard about the matter, I would have appeared with at least another 40 wigs. These EFCC guys are beginning to feel too important. They want Rickey detained? Like seriously? Over what? Madness at its apogee. What do you mean by intimidation of the court? why didnt the judge walk them out. They had right of appearance up to Supreme court and even if all the lawyers in Nigeria choose to appear for a single accused, there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Aufbauh:
Wrong is wrong no matter who does it.
Ricky Tarfa and the 90 vandals of the temple of justice.

in Nigeria's constitution , a man is innocent until proven guilty

If I were the judge, I will simply jail the Tarfa and see if heavens will fall. These lawyers are unfit for a sane society, their place is in the jungle. Shioor.

Limited knowledge at work.

Where ignorance is bliss, i guess it is folly to wise.

someone whose case is still in court and people are already calling him thief, does it mean that anyone efcc takes to court is guilty? I still do not understand the way Nigerians rush into conclusions

and you are better than the judge who did nothing about?

THe 90 silk wigs must each have taken one junior with them under the rules of practise. I cant stop laughing. The judge never see intimidation and i am sure the EFCC team must be asking themselves what led them into this show of shame. EFCC is police, Lawyers teach the police even at the police college, so they should learn to respect their superiors.

..and what job is that if i may ask? Allowing half literate power drunk police men under the toga of EFCC nomenclature to be embarrassing people anyhow? Have you gone to the EFCC office? Even when you are there for a client, they collect your phone and tag it and wish you success because they believe you may even not come down from their offices as you may be detained alongside your client? Please lets stop being mundane here
