The Department of State Services on Tuesday gave an account of its raid on the official residence of a judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, on October 7, 2016.
The leader of the DSS team, which carried out the raid, Mr. Ike Onuoha, gave the details of the operation when he appeared before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, as the second prosecution witness in the ongoing joint trial of Justice Ademola; his wife, Olabowale; and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Joe Agi.
The Federal Government is prosecuting the three defendants on 16 counts bordering mainly on receiving of gratifications.
Ihuoha, who said he led the eight-man team that searched Justice Ademola’s house, entered the witness box on Tuesday shortly after a sales representative of Coscharis Motor Limited, Ifeoma Ofornagolu, who testified as the first prosecution witness ended her oral evidence on how Justice Ademola’s son, Ademide, allegedly received a BMW 320i car described by the prosecution as a gratification meant for the judge, from Agi.
