Chief Emefo Etudo Takes Over As New Defence Counsel</h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a> </strong>reports that Chief Etudo Emefo has taken over as defence counsel involving about 98 Chinese who were arraigned before various judges at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos.</p>
<p>When suit number FHC/L/62C/25 involving Lin Hao Bo &; Anor came up before Justice C.J. Aneke on Thursday, Chief Etudo announced his presence as the new lawyer for the defendants.</p>
<p>However, EFCC Prosecuting Counsel, B.A. Omateno, disagreed with the manner Chief Etudo announced the takeover of the cases orally.</p>
<p>Consequently, Justice Aneke told Etudo to do the needful.</p>
<p>It would be recalled that the EFCC had arraigned 32 Chinese for cybercrime and money laundering before Justice Aneke including Lin Hao Bo &; Anor.</p>
<p>When the matter came up today, <a href="https://openlife.ng/">Chief Etudo</a> announced that he had taken over as defence counsel but the judge said he should have notified the court and prosecutors formally in writing and called him to do so.</p>
<p>But Omateno told the judge that the <a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/">case</a> was one of many in which the defendants had entered for pleabargain.</p>
<p>Etudo, however, said his clients were ready for full trial as the EFCC had no &#8220;iota of evidence &#8220;against Bo &; Anor.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Justice Aneke adjourned the matter to June 20, 2025.</p>
