Justice Rahman Oshodi of the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja has dismissed a request for his recusal from the trial of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Delivering his ruling on Wednesday, Justice Oshodi stated that the defenceās allegations of bias were unsubstantiated and lacked evidence to warrant his withdrawal from the case.
The defence team, led by Olalekan Ojo, had orally applied for the judge to step down on Monday, citing a perceived likelihood of bias based on previous rulings. However, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) counsel Rotimi Oyedepo opposed the request, asserting that the proceedings had been conducted fairly.
After reviewing the arguments, Justice Oshodi ruled that the application had no merit and dismissed it, stating, āThe claims of bias have not been substantiated. Accordingly, the request for recusal is denied.ā
