**Forgery Allegations: Notorious Lawyer and Co-Defendant Get N10m Bail** In a dramatic turn of events in Abuja, a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has granted bail to Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mike Ozekhome, and his co-defendant, Ponfa Useni, in the sum of N10 million each. The two men are standing trial on alleged forgery charges related to a property in London. The case, which has significant implications for the country's justice system, involves allegations of forging international passports and other documents. The court, presided over by Justice Chizoba Oji, admitted the defendants to bail after their lawyers argued their respective bail applications. Notably, the prosecution did not oppose the bail request, paving the way for the court's decision. As part of the bail conditions, the defendants were ordered to provide one surety each, who must own a landed property in the FCT. They were also required to deposit their international passports with the court. The court further stipulated that the defendants can return home for the weekend, but must report back to the court on Monday to comply with the bail conditions. The case has sparked controversy, with many questioning the motives behind the alleged forgery. The federal government had filed fresh charges against the defendants, alleging that they forged a Nigerian international passport to claim ownership of a London property. The charges were filed just hours after an earlier charge was withdrawn by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC). The implications of this case are far-reaching, and many Nigerians are eagerly watching to see how it unfolds. The fact that a notorious lawyer and a former military officer are embroiled in the scandal has added to the public's interest. As the trial continues, many are hoping that justice will be served and that the truth about the alleged forgery will be revealed. For now, the defendants have been granted bail, but the court has made it clear that they must comply with the conditions set out. As the case continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Nigerian public will be watching closely to see how it all plays out.
