A big-shot lawyer just got slapped with fraud charges over a fancy London house. Nigeria's anti-graft agency, ICPC, filed a case against senior advocate Mike Ozekhome, accusing him of receiving a property on Randall Avenue as part of a corruption scheme. The charges also claim he falsified a passport under the name Shani Tali to support ownership of the home.
The commission listed several pieces of evidence for the court, including a prior judgment and a statement from Ozekhome. Investigators from the ICPC and a representative from immigration services are set to testify. The case involves allegations of document forgery and fraudulently using a false passport to claim the asset.
Proceedings await assignment to a judge. The charges cite violations of corrupt practices and penal code laws, focusing on the alleged illicit transfer and false documentation for the London property. Ozekhome faces multiple counts tied to the same transaction.
