A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Joe Agi, who is being prosecuted along with Justice Adeniyi Ademola of a Federal High Court, has told the Department of State Services that a President Muhammadu Buhari’s lawyer paid N500,000 to the judge in 2015.
Agi said Mr. Kola Awodein (SAN) paid the money to Justice Ademola in 2015 at the time the judge was presiding over Buhari’s certificate case.
Agi had claimed to a DSS investigator that the sum of N500,000 paid to Justice Ademola by Awodein was not meant to be a bribe but a gift for the wedding of the judge’s daughter.
