**Forgery Allegations Against Senior Advocate Ozekhome Thrown Out of Court** In a dramatic turn of events, Justice Peter Kekemeke of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) against Mike Ozekhome, a respected Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The decision has left many wondering about the implications of this development. The ICPC had initiated a three-count charge against Ozekhome in January 2026, alleging forgery. However, the Attorney-General of the Federation intervened, taking over the case on January 26. The Attorney-General's counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, expressed a commitment to prosecute the case with diligence and due process. Yet, in a surprising twist, Oyedepo requested to withdraw the case during the scheduled arraignment proceedings. Oyedepo explained that his office needed time to review the case and consolidate the various issues that arose from multiple investigating agencies to strengthen the prosecution. In granting the application, Justice Kekemeke struck out the case, effectively ending the ICPC's allegations against Ozekhome. This decision raises questions about the credibility of the initial allegations and the thoroughness of the investigation by the ICPC. The dismissal of the case also highlights the complexities of Nigeria's justice system, where multiple agencies may be involved in investigations, leading to potential inconsistencies and inefficiencies. The Attorney-General's decision to withdraw the case suggests that they may have concerns about the strength of the evidence or the need for further investigation. While the outcome may be a relief for Ozekhome, it underscores the need for more effective coordination and collaboration among Nigeria's law enforcement agencies to ensure that justice is served in a timely and efficient manner.
