Her arrest took place on the premises of the Lagos High Court, Lagos, Ikeja shortly after Justice Hakeem Oshodi struck out the corruption charges made against her by the EFCC.

As she attempted to leave the courtroom, EFCC officials moved to surround the dismissed judge.

Upon sighting them, the judge made a hasty retreat and went back upstairs into Justice Oshodi’s courtroom to seek the protection of the court from the EFCC officials.

Justice Oshodi, when notified about the development, said there was nothing he could do, as “the file had been closed.”

Her co-defendant, Mr. Godwin Obla, SAN, was however allowed to leave the court premises.

Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia was standing trial before the court on charges bordering on unlawful enrichment, taking property by a public officer, corruption, forgery and giving false information to an official of the EFCC, while Mr. Obla was Charged with bribing her with N5m.

They had both pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Before her arrest, the trial judge, Justice Oshodi, in a ruling, had struck out the 31 counts filed by the EFCC against Ofili-Ajumogobia and Mr. Obla on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the suit.

The judge ruled that, based on the judicial precedent set by the case of Justice Nganjiwa Vs FRN, the EFCC had “jumped the gun” in filing the first amended charge.

Justice Oshodi also held that the anti-graft commission had not followed the procedures set by the National Judicial Council (NJC) for disciplining erring judicial officers.

What a country!

When EFCC has a written script that's how they act. When they are bent on obeying an order from above.
What happens if they initiate another arrest procedure? This arrest now, do they have a warrant for it?

Before you rush to judge this judge, bear in mind that it could have been anyone. Perhaps, you would have done same for reasons you thought were apt under similar circumstances. Read and move on, let the law do its job.

So if there's a case law that prohibits the prosecution of judicial officers without first been dealt with by NJC,why was onnoghen arraigned at the CCT without recourse to the NJC first?,why didn't the NJC defended this provision in the onnoghen's case?,yet somebody will want me to believe that the onnoghen saga is not a premeditated affair.The hypocrisy deciet n bias of buhari/Apc is the reason why personally I can never them.

that's how they used loose cases on daily basis . court have struck out the case and you went ahead to get her arrested ! can you see why they called Africa a shithole very bad no respect for the law and order anymore. mind she is only guilty if the court affirm it but the lacked genuine evidence to nail her so they should go and dig more than show that they are monkeys.

Obono-Obla was free to go because he is Buhari's henchman.

Buhari the Integrity Papa. As old as he is, he cannot/will not do what is right because he needs the adulation and worldly comforts that come with presidential power.
