An Abuja Federal High Court presided over by Justice Jude Okeke on Wednesday, April 5 exonerated and dismissed the case of alleged corruption involving Justice Adeniyi Ademola.
Ademola and his wife were facing a 16 counts charge which the court dismissed all.
The judge ruled that the case was based on speculations and hear say.
The Department of State Security [DSS] were prosecuting the case following the nationwide raids on judges.
Also alongside Justice Ademola were Barrister Joe Agi, SAN, and Mrs. Ademola, who was Head of Service [HOS] of Lagos State prior to her arrest.
The case was titled “Federal Republic of Nigeria vs Justice Adeniyi Francis Adetokunbo Ademola & 2 Ors.”
“Judges are not Church mouse, we can also live luxurious lifestyles from legitimate earnings,” and angry Justice Okeke ruled and struck out the matter, dismissed the entire 16 counts charge and acquitted and sets the defendants free.
