FG Files Charges Against Ozekhome Over Alleged Use of Forged Passport
The Federal Government has filed fresh criminal charges against constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), over the alleged use of a forged Nigerian passport in a disputed property case in the United Kingdom.
The government on Tuesday slammed a 12-count charge against Ozekhome before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja.
Also named in the suit as the second defendant is Ponfa Useni, son of the late Jeremiah Useni, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
The development comes after the FCT High Court had earlier struck out charges filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on the same matter, following the withdrawal of the case by the Attorney-General of the Federation.
