The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed charges against the duo of John Demide and Sarah Ajibola for allegedly rigging the 2018 general elections of the Nigerian Bar Association conducted electronically.

The defendants have been charged with 14 counts before the Federal High Court in Lagos State .
The EFCC, in the charge sheet marked FHC/L /118c/ 2020, alleged that the defendants conspired between themselves to “ knowingly alter the email addresses and phone numbers of 1004 eligible voters of the NBA election with the intention that such inauthentic data will be acted upon as genuine during the said election .”

The 2018 presidential election of the NBA was won by Paul Usoro ( SAN) , who was declared by the electoral committee to have polled 4, 509 votes to beat his contenders , Arthur Okafor ( SAN) and Ernest Ojukwu ( SAN), who were declared to have polled 4,423 and 3, 313 votes, respectively .
But Okafor and Ojukwu rejected the election result, saying it was rigged.

In the charges now filed by the EFCC two years after the election, Demide and Ajibola were accused of fraudulently using the Supreme Court Enrolment Numbers of some lawyers to vote “ with the intent of gaining electoral advantage in favour of Mr Paul Usoro ” .

According to the EFCC, the lawyers, whose Supreme Court Enrolment Numbers were allegedly used by the defendants , include Gabriel Oladapo, Uthman Oluwaseun , David Anako , Chiagoziem Aninilu , and Bankole Toyin .

The EFCC prosecutor , Rotimi Oyedepo , said Demide and Ajibola acted contrary to Section 27( 1) ( b ) of the Cybercrime ( Prohibition ) Act 2015 and were liable to be punished under Section 13 of the same Act.

Where can Nigerians put their trust, is it in Nigerian lawyers or in EFCC?

Lawyers again??

Lawyers dey rig election? Which court will entertain this case? For me, this charade seems exercise in futility

dey sef go dey abuse APC & PDP ooo

Even NBA

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Na wa....and this people dey among those way go dey call other political officers thief

This country ehnnn.....we all are just corrupt
We don't actually hate corruption the way we pretend to but
We are just pretending to hate it because we are not the ones carrying out the corruption at that point in time

This is long overdue.

Like Naira Marley said "Ole ni everybody, eni ile mo ba sha ni barawo"

Who then gets arraigned for rigging the 2020 NBA election?

Nigerians are all on steroids

Rigging in an electronically conducted election by the NBA ?
I don't know what to say again. Where will Nigeria's help come from?

But wait ooo
What concerns EFCC with election rigging. I thought they are only financially inclined

It's no wonder why the judiciary is corrupt...

I remember the thread it made Fp. Someone even pointed out that names like “Opening Sentence” were voting

Nothing is working in this country.

This is why I said corruption is inborn in every Nigerian. Including all those here claiming innocence and shock. All are corrupt. We only blame our leaders out of envy. Give a 2yr old Nigerian the same chance and he will loot even more

One issue with people is the insatiable quest for mundane things

Rekyz:
Who then gets arraigned for rigging the 2020 NBA election?

Election has not been held. Go back to bed

They should go on to arrest all existing politicians that riggged their ways into office.

So rigging has been extended to the judiciary, even common NBA elections are also been rigged... this country needs total overhaul.

Anyway am not surprised even Buharis elections was also rigged, let EFFC starts it's investigation from the last election

Matrimonous:
They should go on to arrest all existing politicians that riggged their ways into office.

If they do that i seriously doubt if there is any Nigerian politician in an elective post today that will escape the net

Lawyers descended so low as to rig elections of their professional association?
