A lawyer named Ibrahim Mohammed has been disowned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Mohammed filed forgery charges against Stella Oduah, a former Minister of Aviation, in the name of the anti-graft agency.
The EFCC on Wenesday told the Government High Court in Abuja that Mohammed, a Director of Police, was not commanded to record any lawbreaker accusation against Oduah or arraign her in any crookAs the EFCC makes 33 arrests, four fraudsters are sentenced to prison. matter.
Counsel for the EFCC, Helen Okonofun, told Equity James Omotoso that the police legal advisor had been explored by the EFCC as requested by the appointed authority last week.
She said the report of the discoveries would be recorded at the court vault and be made accessible to the court from there on.
As indicated by the advice, Mohammed was at first with the EFCC yet was redeployed from the office to the police base camp on November 4, 2022 and didn’t have anything to do with the EFCC from that point forward.
In a short decision, Equity Omotoso fixed October 4, 2023, for the EFCC to officially make the report of the discoveries accessible to the court.
Review that the adjudicator had last Wenesday
requested the EFCC to test Mohammed and decide if he was authourised to document charges against Oduah.
The eight counts he documented against the ex-serve verged on falsification of Public Youth Administration Corps declaration.
However, the adjudicator started to pose inquiries in the wake of seeing a few blemishes in the court cycle.
Equity Omotoso questioned the legal counselor whether he had the order of the EFCC to document the charges.
Mohammed, who answered in the negative and was to a great extent muddled while responding to questions, conceded that he errorneously recorded the charges for the sake of the EFCC.
Oduah, while talking through her attorney, James Onoja (SAN), last week, depicted the charges as unusual.
As per Onoja, the charges against his client “have no verification of proof bearing her explanation as legally necessary.”
