Fred Ajudua
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
re-arraigned alleged fraudster, Fred Ajudua, on a 10-count charge
of defrauding a German, Zaid Abu Zalaf of the $1million.
At the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, the Lagos State
capital, Mr Ajudua pleaded not guilty to the charges bordering on
conspiracy, obtaining by false pretences and forging of
documents.
Presiding Justice Mojisola Dada also dismissed an application
brought by Ajudua’s counsel, Mr Olalekan Ojo, asking the court to
recuse itself from the case on grounds of likelihood of bias.
The judge held that three petitions written by the defendant on
the issue in the past had exonerated her as she had been given a
clean bill by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the National
Judicial Council (NJC).
The court subsequently took the testimony of the German on how
he was allegedly defrauded and adjourned till Thursday, December 6
(today) for cross-examination of the witness.
