That Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and charged to court recently is an established fact. Be that as it may, millions of Nigerians don’t know how she got into trouble.

However, the EFCC has revealed how the highly respected Judge and wife of former Minister of Petroleum, Mr. Henry Odein Ajumogobia got into her present travails. The EFCC disclosed that Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia while serving as a justice of the Federal High Court on June 5, 2012, unlawfully received N18 million through her Access Bank Plc account which she could not give a reasonable account of.

The EFCC revealed that between 2012 and 2015, she equally received 788,000 dollars from various sources into her Diamond Bank account and allegedly received N51.1 million from various sources which did not reflect her source of income as a judge. The anti-graft agency claimed that between July 5 and December. 30, 2010, she forged a deed of assignment between County City Bricks Development Co Limited and Nigel and Clove Limited and the forged deed was dated July 5, 2010, which was purportedly prepared and signed by Charles Musa and Co.
