Embattled lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, who was charged for obstructing justice and bribing a Judge, is in for more troubles as the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has filed new charges against him for bribing public officials.
According to Sahara Reporters, who obtained copies of the 26-count criminal charge, Tarfa allegedly gave millions of naira to Justice Nganjiwa Hyeladzira Ajiya, a federal judge, thus violating Section 64(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State Act of 2011.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) was also charged for giving N2 million to Justice Muhammed Nasir Yunusa.
The anti-graft agency is also said to be investigating a client of Tarfa, Granhoue Sourou Nazaire, who sued Rachidatou Abdou over control and ownership of a company that both were directors at.
Abdou alleged that Tarfa was in contact with the Judge presiding over the case, Justice Yunusa, and was attempting to ‘pervert the course of justice’.
In a bid to stop his legal prosecution, Tarfa has filed several petitions against the EFCC.
It would be recalled that last month, Tarfa filed a N5 billion law suit against telecommunication company MTN, EFCC, and Femi Falana (SAN) for allegedly violating his right to privacy by giving out his call logs.
