Court Affirms Jurisdiction To Try Rickey Tarfa, Trial Commences May 20

Justice A. A. Akintoye of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere on Friday, dismissed an application filed before the court by Rickey Tarfa, SAN, challenging the jurisdiction of the court and seeking an order to quash the 27-count charge bordering on alleged willful obstruction of authorized officers of EFCC, refusing to declare assets, making false information and offering gratification to a public official brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

The judge ruled that the court had jurisdiction to entertain the charges and turned down Tarfa's prayers for the quashing of the charges. "This Court has a jurisdiction to entertain the charges on this matter. The prayer of the applicant asking for an order on jurisdiction to entertain charges on this matter is hereby dismissed. The prayer of the applicant asking for an order to quash charges laid before the court is hereby dismissed. The prayer of the applicant asking the court to restrain EFCC operatives, staffs, agents, or any person whatsoever to investigate and prosecute the defendant is hereby refused. The applicant's motion on notice on 10th March, 2016 is hereby dismissed accordingly", he said.

One hundred and thirty six (136) lawyers including 40 Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN appeared for the defendant.

Justice Akintoye subsequently adjourned the matter till 20 and 27 May, 2016 for commencement of trial and further hearing.

Toyin Aimakhu Shares Hot Gangsta Bathroom Selfie

At least, life must go on even if the men don't want to mingle with me". Toyin Aimakhu posing as a gangster in a bathroom selfie and maybe caring less of the controversies surrounding her at the moment. The sultry Nollywood actress has been in the news recently on various issues concerning her relationship life and it has not been a sweet pill to swallow, I must say. Her estranged boyfriend, Seun Egbegbe, recently claimed she is hard to satisfy on the bed and this will definitely make men stay away from her. That is not through anyway in my opinion as an adage will say "Where your father farm stops is where another man's father's farm starts" Let Toyin be the one to decide and we believe time will tell if she will find another man or not!!!
