An EFCC source reportedly disclosed that the commission had also invited another senior lawyer, Adeniyi Akintola, but he did not show up.
A total of 30 senior lawyers are reportedly said to be under probe for bribing judges according to an EFCC source but the recent invitations are as a result of the interrogation of two Federal High Court judges: Agbadu James Fishim and Uwani Abba Aji, and one judge of the Industrial Court.
