IKEJA, Lagos, Nigeria – Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) few minutes ago arrested former Federal High Court judge, Justice Rita Ofili Ajumogobia inside the premises of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja at 12 noon about 2 hour after ruling by the court.
Ajumogobia was arrested by a team of EFCC officials comprising men and women and driven away in truck marked Abuja, BWR 63780. Her talk handsome lady was not allowed to join her in the truck.
Officials of the commission had laid siege in the court premises as soon as Justice Hakeem Oshodi struck out the case involving the defendants, Rita Ofili Ajumogobia and co-defendant , Godwin Obla, SAN. Obla left the court immediately.
But on getting out, Rita Ofili Ajumogobia in company of her husband got a wind of information that officials of the agency have surrounded the court waiting to arrest and move her to Abuja.
She thereafter returned to the court after descending the staircase. Her husband later joined her inside the court. Godwin Obla was however allowed to exit the court premises by officials of the EFCC.
Station at the court premises for the operation is a white truck with registration number Abuja, BWR 63780.
