Court Clears Justice Ademola, Wife of Corruption

Federal High Court (FHC) in Abuja has cleared Justice Adeniyi Ademola and
his wife, Olabowale, of charges of corruption brought against them by the
Attorney General of the Federation.

Mr. Ademola, judge of the FHC, was among the judges arrested last October
in a late night raid by the State Security Service.

He was eventually charged by the attorney general’s office for, among
others, allegedly receiving bribes during the discharge of is duties.

Mr. Ademola had requested a speedy trial of his case before he was cleared
of any wrongdoing on Wednesday by Justice Jude Okeke.
