Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe, a former Aidede-Camp (ADC) to former President Goodluck Jonathan has been arrested by federal authorities. News of his arrest was broken on Wednesday evening by an online publication, The Will, and independently confirmed to the Daily Times by reliable sources. However, it could not be ascertained as to why he was arrested or where he was being held. In a similar development, Mr Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called on members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to join hands with the Commission in the fight against corruption. This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Mr Wilson Uwujaren ,EFCC’s Head, Media and Publicity.

It said that Magu made the call when the national executive of the NBA paid him a courtesy visit. Magu said that some members of the association had given it a bad name as a result of their unprofessional conducts. He said that some lawyers were aiding some individuals and corporate bodies to perpetrate economic and financial crimes.

“Society is not served when prominent members of the Bar not only take clearly tainted briefs, but even facilitate the commission of crimes by knowingly supplying the technical know-how and later helping in the dispersal of the proceeds of crime. “There are lawyers within the fold of the NBA who ought not to be among your noble ranks. “Those people are not fit to be called ministers; rather, they are vandals of the temple of justice’’, the statement said.
