The Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) witness, Olumuyiwa Solanke told a Lagos
High Court, Ikeja that embattled Federal High Court Judge,
Justice Rita
Ofili-Ajumogobia was not in the hospital on the 19th October as she claimed to
the EFCC.
The witness
who is a Medical Director disclosed this in his testimony before Justice Hakeem
Oshodi that the hospital has records of all patients on admission on said date
and Ofili-Ajumogobia was not on admission on that date.
The EFCC had
slammed a 30-count charge against Ajumogobia and Godwin Obla for giving and
receiving bribe.
Obla was
charged with two-counts of offering gratification in the sum of N5million to
Ofili-Ajumogobia, a public official while carrying out her duties.
Ofili-Ajumogobia
was alleged of unlawful enrichment, corruption by a public officer, forgery and
giving false information to an official of the EFCC.
