Adesola Amosu, a Former Chief of Air Staff, and two others, have informed Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court, in Ikoyi, Lagos of their willingness to enter into a plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
Rotimi Oyedepo, prosecution counsel, informed the court that the defendants, through their lawyers, wrote the EFCC, expressing their willingness to enter into a plea bargain over their alleged crimes. “After receiving the letter from the defendants, indicating their willingness to enter into a plea bargain. I made several phone calls to the defence team as I was directed by the EFCC, urging them to come to the EFCC office for a meeting, but they have not shown up. So, it appears to me that the defence and their clients are not committed towards the resolution of this matter,” Oyedepo told the court.
In his response, counsel to Amosu, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde, SAN, told the court that they did not honour the invitation to the meeting because the commission had not formally responded to their letter.
