According to reports, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged two Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), Mr. Rickey Tarfa and Mr. Joe Agi, to court for alleged corruption and money laundering.
Here are the details:
- Mr. Rickey Tarfa, a Lagos-based lawyer, was charged with 27 counts of corruption and money laundering, including allegations of bribing judges and other officials to influence court cases.
- Mr. Joe Agi, a Benin-based lawyer, was charged with 15 counts of corruption and money laundering, including allegations of bribing judges and other officials to influence court cases.
The EFCC alleged that the two lawyers used their positions to corruptly enrich themselves and others, and that they laundered millions of naira through various means.
The charges against the two lawyers are serious and could potentially lead to significant penalties, including imprisonment and fines.
It's worth noting that the EFCC has been actively pursuing cases against corrupt individuals, including lawyers, judges, and other public officials, in an effort to combat corruption and promote transparency and accountability in Nigeria.
