Alleged forgery: FG withdraws charges against Ozekhome

The Federal Government on Tuesday withdrew the criminal charge filed against Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, over alleged forgery.

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation announced this at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Maitama.

The Federal Government had filed charges against Mike Ozekhome over his involvement in a disputed property case in the United Kingdom.

Daily Trust had reported how a UK tribunal indicted Ozekhome for allegedly using fraudulent documents to claim ownership of the property located at 79 Randall Avenue, London NW2 7SX.

It was later traced to the late General Jeremiah Useni from Plateau State.

However, the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), informed Justice Peter Kekemeke that the AGF had decided to take a holistic look at the case and determine the most appropriate course of action.
