Lawyer arraigned for securing freezing of Nasarawa accounts with fake documents - Punch Newspapers

A Makurdi-based lawyer, Okpale Ojikpa, has been arraigned in a Nasarawa court for allegedly using fake court judgement to freeze accounts of the Nasarawa State Government.

Ojikpa, who is alleged to be acting on behalf of some group of pensioners, under the auspices of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, had filed a notice of appeal and a motion seeking an interlocutory injunction to restrain the bank from allowing the Nasarawa State Government to access its accounts. In the suit filed before the Chief Magistrate Court III, sitting in Lafia, the Nasarawa State Government also accused Ojikpa of presenting false statement in the declaration, which it said, was receivable as evidence by law.

Counsel for the Nasarawa State Government, Egye Aliyu, said the records before the court showed that Ojikpa used fake court judgements to obtain garnishee orders on the accounts of the state government, noting that, he contravened sections 161 and 164 of the Penal Code.

He said, “The judgment Mr Ojikpa alleged has been determined at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
