Report reaching us revealed that a High Court of the FCT trying Justice AFA Ademola, his wife, former Lagos State Head of Service and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Ago, for corruption and money laundering allegations has so far dismissed 14 of the charges. Ruling is still in progress. The Ruling is on the no case submission of the counsel of the defendants.
It would be recalled that operatives of the Department of State Services raided the official residence of some justices including two supreme court justice on 8th October, 2016. In the process, millions of naira and foreign currency were recovered. It is pertinent to state that the arrest of the judicial officers generated mixed reaction then.
Justice Ademola
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had accused the federal government of arresting Justice Adeniyi Ademola over the unconditional bail he had earlier granted Nnamdi Kanu which the federal government rejected.
Justice Ademola of the federal high court in Abuja was arrested along other judges by operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) over alleged corrupt practices. But IPOB alleged that Justice Ademola was picked up by the DSS because he granted Nnamdi Kanu unconditional release on 16th and 17th December 2015
