The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday, opposed an attempt by the Attorney-General of Lagos State to take over the prosecution of the Chairman of Ibeto Energy Development Company, Cletus Ibeto.
This is Ibeto’s planned arraignment failed again on Tuesday at the Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, for the fourth time as Ibeto was again absent in court.
His lawyers, led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Uche Obi, told the trial judge, Justice Ismail Ijelu, that an issue of legal representation had arisen following moves by the office of the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to take over the prosecution of the case.
