Rickey Tarfa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN on Tuesday showed up before Justice Aishat Opesanwo of Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, to answer for a 2-count charge of obstruction of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
PREMIUM TIMES reports that Tarfa stormed the court room with 90 SANs. The trial judge had to complain about the number of counsel who were in court for the defendant. She noted that there was no need for such magnitude of support as it amounts to harassment and intimidation of the court.
The judge granted Tarfa bail on self-recognition but ordered that he must not travel out of the country without the permission of the court.
Tarfa's legal team is looking to strike out the case against him. Justice Opesanwo adjourned the matter to March 14, for hearing of the application to quash the charge while the substantive case was fixed for April 20, 2016 for trial.
