FG Files Fresh Criminal Charges Against Ozekhome

The Federal Government has initiated another criminal case against Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, over claims that he used a forged Nigerian passport in connection with a contentious property matter in the United Kingdom.

Prosecutors on Tuesday, the 24th of February, 2026, submitted a 12-count charge before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.

Also named in the suit is Ponfa Useni, son of the late Jeremiah Useni, who once served as Minister of the FCT.

Recall that earlier proceedings on the same allegation had been discontinued after the Attorney-General of the Federation withdrew charges previously filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission. The FCT High Court subsequently struck out the case.
