Top Lagos Lawyer, Ebun Adegboruwa
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has annouced the arrest of top Lagos Lawyer, Ebun Adegboruwa.
A statement on its official Facebook page says: "Ebun Olu
Adegboruwa, Lagos lawyer, has been arrested by operatives of the EFCC
for dealing in a property which is a subject of an Interim Forfeiture
Order by a Lagos State High Court without due authorization.
"He allegedly conspired with some other persons to lease the
property situate at House 105 Nicon Town Estate, Lekki Lagos, to one
Shelf Drilling Nigeria Limited, in the sum of N61,631,944.65. The said
money was credited to his Zenith Bank’s account, from where he made
disbursements. The matter will soon be charged to court"
But, many have expressed doubt about Adegboruwa's arrest as some
suggest that his several cases against the EFCC might have resulted in a
gang up plan to muzzle him.
Adegboruwa who is also the counsel for ex-Niger Delta militant,
Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, had in the past challenged
the EFCC, one of note was the suit he filed against the agency
challenging the continued detention of Olisa Metuh.
