Mike Ozekhome faces trial in Abuja over disputed UK property
The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja is hearing a case involving lawyer Mike Ozekhome and other defendants, with proceedings linked to a property dispute in London.
Mike Ozekhome is a defendant in a trial before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja. The case is being prosecuted on behalf of the Attorney‑General of the Federation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), according to gdelt.
The charges stem from a messy battle over a disputed property located at 79 Randall Avenue, London NW2 7SX, identified as United Kingdom First‑Tier Tribunal case number REF/2023/0155, reported by nwafolive.com. The ICPC filed proof of evidence, a list of exhibits and witnesses ahead of the trial, also reported by nwafolive.com.
The forgery and impersonation trial was adjourned until 28 September, as noted by gdelt. Each defendant was granted bail of N10 million with one surety, and the court ordered their international passports to be submitted, according to gdelt. The prosecution (office of the AGF) had withheld and failed to deposit the defendants’ passports as part of the bail conditions, reported by gdelt.
Mike Ozekhome was granted permission to travel to the United Kingdom for a medical trip lasting six weeks, and must return his passport to the court on or before 26 August 2026, both reported by gdelt.
