The senior lawyer and a judge of a Federal High Court, Justice RITA OFILI-AJUMOGOBIA are currently in custody of the anti-graft commission.
The EFCC had prepared a thirty counts charge on the duo and they are billed to be arraigned before a Lagos High Court over allegation of perversion of justice.
OBLA was accused of bribing Justice AJUMOGOBIA with five million naira to pervert the cause of justice in a matter before her.
Following his detention the senior lawyer had through his lawyer filed a suit demanding for one billion naira as damages.
In his ruling, Justice IDRIS held that the fundamental right cannot in any way be construed as meaning an absolute right, since it can be curtailed.
It may interest you to know that GODWIN OBLA is one of the counsels to the Rivers state Government in the trial of former Chairman of Asari-Toru Local government, OJUKAYE FLAG-AMACHREE.
