The Economic and Financial Crimes Com – mission (EFCC) has kicked against the move by the Lagos State government to take over the forgery case made against a lawyer, Oyinkansola Alakija, alongside her father-in-law, Alaba Alakija, before the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja, presided over by Justice Mojisola Dada.

Recall that the anti-graft agency had on April 16, arraigned the duo on an amended two-count charge bordering on alleged conspiracy and using false documents.

According to the EFCC, the lawyer, alongside her father-in-law, allegedly conspired to use a false document titled; ‘Vesting Deed by Dr Omodele Alakija and Mr Afolabi Alakija,’ the executors of the Estate of the late Sir Ademola Alakija purporting the same to be made by Dr Omodele Alakija and Mr Afolabi Alakija.

The commission also insisted that the offence was committed on or about August 6, 2015, with the intent to financially benefit from a property located at No. 10, Keffi Street, Southwest, Ikoyi, Lagos.

While their arraignment lasted, the defendants had pleaded not guilty to the charge, prompting the prosecution to pray to Honourable Justice Dada for a trial date and the remand of the defendants at a correctional facility.

In his response, counsel for the first defendant, Yemi Akangbe, SAN, notified the trial court of his client’s bail application, which had been filed and served on the prosecution.

In moving the application, the SAN had prayed to the court to grant bail to his client in the most liberal terms.
