• It was for his mother’s kidney dialysis, lawyer affirms


THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday alleged that another Lagos senior lawyer also transferred N750,000 to the embattled Judge of the Federal High Court, Mohammed Yunusa.

The anti-graft agency said another sum of N300,000 was transferred to the company account of another judge of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, Justice H.A Nganjiwa.

This latest revelations are contained in a counter affidavit in opposition to the further and better affidavit deposed to by a former employee of Rickey Tarfa and Co. Mohammed Awwal Yunusa.

The embattled Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Rickey Tarfa, had sought and obtained the leave of court to file the further evidence in the N2.5 billion fundamental rights enforcement suit he filed against the EFCC.

Countering the new evidence, an operative of the Commission, Moses Awolusi in an affidavit swore that new revelations have emerged about the alleged fraud of bribing judges through ‘a network of senior lawyers.’

He said: “Investigation has also shown that as part of this chain of fraud, Mr. Joseph Nwobike (SAN) also transferred the sum of N300,000 to Hon. Justice H.A Nganjiwa.

“That investigations further revealed that Hon. Justice M.N Yunusa as part of this scheme of fraud also received the sum of N750,000 from Mr. Joseph Nwobike SAN and Co.” he deposed.

But Nwobike in his statement to the anti-graft agency, which was also attached to the affidavit, explained that the money was not meant to bribe the judge. He said it was the judge who asked him for financial assistance in respect of his ill mother who was undergoing dialysis due to failing kidney.

The lawyer said: “Sometime ago, Justice Yunusa requested to see me. When I got there, he pleaded with me to assist him with some funds since his mother was under dialysis. He stated that her kidney had parked up and that he needs assistance to cure her. I felt sorry for him. I told him that I do not have funds, but that I will assist him when I get some money.

“I requested for his account details which he obliged me. When I got some money about two weeks after, I gave the money to him and he thanked me when he saw me along the corridor of the court of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi.”

Their own sachet of milk

Hmmmm...

Truly judiciary is our problem in Nigeria

If bribery and corruption enter our judiciary, then we are gone.

This bribery as well as money laundering is getting too much.

another yunusa again, na wa .

that name brings me bad memories

If this happen to a judge, what will happen to a secondary or primary school teacher that earn far less than what they earned. Corruption will kill Nigeria.

The lawyer said: “Sometime ago, Justice Yunusa requested to see me. When I got there, he pleaded with me to assist him with some funds since his mother was under dialysis. He stated that her kidney had parked up and that he needs assistance to cure her. I felt sorry for him. I told him that I do not have funds, but that I will assist him when I get some money.

“I requested for his account details which he obliged me. When I got some money about two weeks after, I gave the money to him and he thanked me when he saw me along the corridor of the court of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi.”


If this isn't a clear case of bribery to obtain expected outcomes from a serving judge, I don't know what is.

Justice Yunusa take a bow. You are an example to the bench on how not to be a judge and your case would enter into local jurisprudence going forward.

You and your associates are looking to be forever barred from the Bench, the Bar and appear to be making it to a good life behind bars.

As a side note: Kamoru says hi.

What is astonishing to this issue is the revelation of Nwosike assisting the Judge. If the Judge, who is expected to be a good interpreter of the law, was listening to this matter, what would his rational mind presume?

The Judiciary should be ashamed with the series of revelations coming forth and a quick review, including sanctions, should be carried out. It now appears that justice in Nigeria can be sold to the highest bidder. Now, we can relate with the judgement of controversial cases in the past.

The zoo will crumble on its own corrupt self.

Odago!

Why do I now hate the name YINUSA ??
