The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday arraigned a businessman, John Abebe, for alleged forgery.

Abebe, who is a younger brother to the late former First Lady, Stella Obasanjo, was arraigned on four counts before the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja.

The EFCC, in the charges, claimed that Abebe “knowingly forged” a November 30, 1995 letter written by BP Exploration Nigeria Limited to Inducon (Nigeria) Ltd.

The anti-graft agency claimed that the businessman “illegally inserted” into page 2 of the said letter “the following statement: “Also note that the ‘Buy-Out Option’ only applies to the pre-production stage of the NPIA. The $4m buy-out is thus irrelevant from production of oil in any of our fields.”
According to the EFCC, Mr. Abebe also attempted to “pervert the course of justice” by tendering the allegedly forged November 30, 1995 letter “as a fabricated evidence” in court, in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/224/2010 between Dr. John Abebe, Inducon Nigeria Limited and Statoil Nigeria Limited.
The EFCC accused him of making an attempt to “mislead the court” by using fabricated evidence, contrary to Section 120 (2) of the Criminal Code Cap C17, Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.
The EFCC prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, told the court that by attempting to pervert the course of justice, Abebe violated Section 126 (2) of the Criminal Code Cap C17, Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.
The prosecutor added that forgery was a violation of Section 467 of the Criminal Code Cap C17, Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.
But when the charges were read to the businessman on Thursday, he pleaded not guilty.
Justice Mojisola Dada, while adjourning the case to enable the defence counsel, Mr. Uche Nwokedi (SAN), to file an application for his client’s bail, ordered that Abebe be remanded in Ikoyi Prison.

Forgery has been the order of the day in this present cabinet...... Who have they tried?

Their business...

ah ah no na. Buhari you day dig your grave oh. you dont come for obasanjo oh.

why Buhari never still move on? that old man get childish and vengeful mindset. this na oligarchy oh.

well is still good for OBJ cos when GEJ day recontest for the presidency, OBJ who was the godfather of the party tore his party card publicly. the guy open the door for APC to gain a stronghold.

Our federal coffer day Abuja. all the major political loci are held by northerners. since Buhari enter power, no hand don touch any northern embezzler. only him longtime enemy Dasuki way him lock up becos of unfinished personal business way two of dem start back in the 80ies oh.

EFCC has centered on western/southern/eastern politicians and magnates. no sector in nigeria is accountable. every head just day do as them like. monkey swallow money dem talk am like joke. snake swallow money e en for comedy. no justice. how much did this man forged that Kwankwaso has not. Look at the north, no matter all the resources and embezzlement, it still looks like idp camp. the major investments for there na igbo men and politicians get dem. still dem no wan gree people rest. if all the igbos pull out for north, they will annex most northern states join sahara desert.

is this forgery bigger than the certificate forged by Buhari? what of the one forged by a serving minister of finance? all these na witchhunts. they are attacking any influential magnate that can influence the outcome of the election. wetin concern Buhari concern Abacha regime for 1995? what is the business of Millennials in this 1995 forgery? the thing clear well well.

na oppression be this to sway the minds of the opposition.

Going around the main target is cowardly. If you are brave enough touch OBJ himself and see. Yeye efcc.

Another El Buhari vendetta

OH

This is a continuation of an old quarrel.

1) John Abebe brought Statoil to Nigeria in the 1990s.

2) Statoil got 3 oil blocks.

3) John Abebe claims that he is entitled to certain payments for bringing the company to Nigeria.

4) Statoil claims that the agreements did not state that John Abebe is entitled to be paid.

Both parties have filed several suits against each other in the past ten years.

Idiotic pigs of biafrud will not like this.

Ok. It is noted.

Indirect warning to obj

Joke of a government.
