Alleged N650m Money Laundering: Judge Dismisses Request Seeking His Disqualification – Channels Television

Channels TelevisionA Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has dismissed an application asking it to hands off the trial of a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Jumoke Akinjide, and two chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party , on allegations of laundering N650 million.

On the last adjourned date of February 6, the lawyers to the two PDP leaders had moved their different applications, asking the judge to recuse himself from the suit. In a ruling delivered on the issue today, Justice Hassan held that “These applications are meant to harass, intimidate and blackmail the court; the court will not succumb to cheap blackmail.

He continued, “I agree with learned counsel for the prosecution, that judges of superior courts of record, swear to an oath of allegiance to be just and fair, and cannot be disqualified from presiding over cases by mere allegations that the judge once worked in an organisation.”
