OPERATIVES of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday, arrested Lagos-based lawyer and human rights activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, at his Lekki office, over allegations of obtaining money under false pretence.

The high profile lawyer was accused of knowingly dealing in renting out a forfeited asset without due authorisation, as well as conspiracy.

The anti-graft commission, according to information made available to the Nigerian Tribune, alleged that Adegboruwa conspired with some other persons to lease a property Ebun Olu Adegboruwa
situated at House 105, NICON Town Estate, Lekki, Lagos, to one Shelf Drilling Nigeria Limited at the sum of N61,631,944.65.

The sum was lodged first in his Zenith Bank’s account before he further disbursed it to other associates who are in the deal with him, including churches.

EFCC officials alleged that Adegboruwa, who is handling many high profile cases including that of wanted Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a. Tompolo, acted illegally by leasing out a property which is a subject of an interim forfeiture order by a Lagos State High Court.

It was said that the rights activist would be charged to court as soon as possible
