A SAN Goes to Prison

Joseph Nwobike, a senior advocate of Nigeria has been sentenced to one month jail for bribing judges and court officials.

The sentence, a slap on the wrist, was handed out today  by an Ikeja High Court, with Justice Raliat Adebiyi agreeing that Obidike bribed court officials to pervert justice.

Nwobike was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, on 11 counts bordering on perverting the court of
justice and offering gratification to public officials.

One of the counts read: “That you Nwobike, on the 19th day of March,
2015 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court,
intentionally gave the sum of N750, 000 to Hon. Justice Mohammed Nasir
Yunusa of the Federal High Court directly through your United Bank for
Africa Plc Account No.1002664061 in order that the said Judge acts in
the exercise of his official duties.

Another count read: “That on the 28th day of September, 2015 in Lagos
within the jurisdiction, you intentionally gave the sum of N300, 000
to Hon. Justice Mohammed Nasir Yunusa of the Federal High Court
indirectly through Awa Ajia Nigeria Limited’s account No. 0000971931
domiciled in Access Bank Plc, belonging to Hon. Justice Nganjiwa
Hyeladzira Ajiya of the Federal High Court, in order that the Hon.
Justice Mohammed Nasir Yunusa acts in the exercise of his official
duties.”

During the trial, the prosecution led by  Rotimi Oyedepo,
tendered a compact disc marked exhibit P21 containing text messages
from Nwobike’s mobile phone to a court official.

In the compact disc, which was played on a projector mounted within
the court room, Oyedepo told the court how Nwobike had sent text
messages, at various times, to one Jide, a Deputy Registrar with the
Federal High Court, Lagos.

He told the court that Nwobike admitted to have received
and read a message from Jide on September 23, 2014, saying, “Kuya may
not resume yet”.

Oyedepo also told the court that Nwobike admitted to have sent another
text message to Mr. Jide, saying,  “Suit No FHC/L/CS/1133/2014: (1)
Dana Group of Companies Plc (2) Dana Drugs Ltd (3) Dana Impex Ltd Vs
(1) Sterling Bank Plc (2) Mr. Kunle Ogunba, SAN (3) Corporate Affairs
Commission (4) Chief Registrar of Tiles, Lagos State.
