No fewer than 14 witnesses are billed to testify against Adeniyi
Ademola, a judge of the federal high court, and Olubowale, his wife,
over alleged money laundering.
At the commencement of trial of
Ademola and his wife, on Monday, prosecuting counsel, Segun Jegede,
listed some of the witnesses as the Secretary of the National Judicial
Commission (NJC) and the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court at
the time Ademola served as a judge.
Also Ifeoma Ofornagolu, sales consultant of Coscharis motors, and Shuaibu Sani, would also testify against the judge.
Sani
is said to have given about N35 million to Justice Ademola so that he
would not be sentenced to jail after he was charged for pension fraud.
The prosecuting counsel said a petitioner who had complained to the National Judicial Council (NJC) would also testify.
Ademola
is alleged to have abused his office, by receiving bribe in millions of
naira and a luxury car to divert the course of justice.
His home was among those of the seven judges raided by the department of state services (DSS) on allegations of corruption
