Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, who was charged with unlawful enrichment and money laundering, has objected to being tried afresh before the Federal High Court in Lagos after the Lagos State High Court

in Ikeja on April 16 struck out the 31 counts filed against her and Chief Godwin Obla .

However, following the striking out of the charges by Justice Oshodi on April 16, operatives of the EFCC, who had laid in wait, immediately picked Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia up on the court premises and took her into custody. At the request of the prosecuting counsel, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, Justice Aikawa also issued a summons on Obla, who was absent from the court on April 16, to appear before him on May 15 to take his own plea.

Both Obla and Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia were both arraigned afresh on the 18 counts, to which they pleaded not guilty.
