Punch reports that Tarfa also called on the Lagos High Court to throw out the charges brought against him by him by the anti-graft agency.
The affidavit which was filed by a lawyer in Tarfa’s chambers, John Odubela said “The EFCC has no power to bring the information/charge as constituted.
“This honourable court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain the information as presently constituted as same not only failed to disclose a prima facie case but was filed to irritate, annoy and embarrass the defendant/ applicant.”
Tarfa also said the EFCC did not state the place and time where he committed the said offences.
The embattled lawyer also argued that the anti-graft agency did not show any proof that the Attorney-General of Lagos State gave them permission to file the charges against him.
