**Notorious Lawyer Ozekhome Embroiled in Forgery Scandal, Gets ₦10m Bail** In a dramatic turn of events, Justice Chizoba Orji of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has granted bail to renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mike Ozekhome, and his co-defendant, Ponfa Useni, in a staggering ₦10 million each. This development comes after they were arraigned on a 12-count criminal charge by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation. The allegations against Ozekhome and Useni include forging crucial documents, including an international passport and an irrevocable power of attorney, to unjustly claim ownership of a property in London. The property in question was allegedly procured by the late General Jeremiah Useni through dubious means. While the details of the case are still unfolding, the fact that a high-profile lawyer like Ozekhome is involved has sent shockwaves through the legal community. During the arraignment, Ozekhome's counsel, Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), and Useni's counsel, F. R. Onoja (SAN), applied for bail on behalf of their clients. Surprisingly, the counsel to the AGF, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), did not oppose the bail application. This unexpected move has raised eyebrows, with many speculating about the possible motives behind the AGF's decision. In granting the bail, Justice Orji set the conditions at ₦10 million each, with a requirement that each defendant provide a surety who must own a property in the FCT. The judge also ordered the defendants to deposit their international passports with the court. While Ozekhome and Useni are free to return to their homes until Monday, failing to meet the bail conditions by then could land them in prison. This development has sparked intense interest in the Nigerian public, with many calling for transparency and accountability in the handling of high-profile cases. As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the judicial system navigates this complex web of forgery and alleged deceit.
