All the charges against the former minister bother on the allegation that she lied on oath which amounts to a felony.It is alleged that Oduah falsely claimed to have lost her National Youth Service Corps certificate to support her eligibility to contest elections and occupy public office.He told the judge that the defendant did not make an appearance because the police could not serve her the court process.
The lawyer had signed the charge as a member of the legal and prosecution department of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . However, in a written address attached in support of the case, he identified himself as the head of the inspector general of police monitoring unit, Nigeria police force headquarters, Abuja.
Responding to the judge’s inquiry, Mohammed said he was seconded to the EFCC but redeployed back to the police in November 2022.The prosecution counsel told the court that he resumed at the legal department of police headquarters in January 2023, adding that“It was a mistake, sir. I mistakenly put EFCC Benin on the charge,” he said.“How will any reasonable man believe you?” the judge asked.
