IKEJA, Lagos, Nigeria – Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) have surrounded the premises of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja waiting to apprehend a former Federal High Court judge, Justice Rita Ofili Ajumogobia, whose case has been struck out by the court.
As soon as Justice Hakeem Oshodi ruled on the matter filed by the EFCC, striking out the suit, the defendants, Rita Ofili Ajumogobia and co-defendant , Godwin Obla, SAN left the court.
