Godwin Obla

A former prosecutor for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Godwin Obla says he will continue to support the Federal Government in its anti-graft war despite being wrongly prosecuted by the same EFCC.

Obla was recently discharged and acquited by a Federal High Court on charges of trying to influence a Judgement by bribing a judge.

He says he holds no grudge but asked law enforcement agencies to strictly adhere to the rule of law and lawyers to continue to remain steadfast in the profession.

The EFCC terminated the prosecution of Obla by an amended charge and removal of his name from the charge sheet in the suit between the Federal Government and Justice Rita Ofili Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court, Lagos.
