Professor Utuama coordinated series of criminal acts of bribery of the judiciary during Ibori’s tenure and was indicted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the 170-count charge filed against Ibori first before the federal High Court in Kaduna and later before the Federal "kangaroo" court in Asaba, Delta state. His law firm, Prime Chambers was used as a conduit for money laundering and compromising of lawyers, judges and their shell companies. Several millions of Naira was shelled out through Utuama’s Prime Chambers account No: 6012901256 at Zenith Bank. However, Utuama enjoys absolute legal immunity therefore providing the cover he badly needs to continue facilitating judicial scams on behalf of Ibori using Delta State funds.
As Saharareporters has repeatedly reported, the outgoing President of the Federal Court of Appeal, Umaru Abdullahi, remains one of the most corrupt judicial officers in Nigeria’s history. Last week, the Emir of Daura in Katsina State, against judicial service rules, conferred him with the title of Wali Hausa. And who was at
Justice Abdullahi’s infamous coronation ceremony in Daura?
You guessed it: Prof. Utuama.
Photos show Prof. Utuama, in various attires, with his partners in crime at various special events sponsored by the Delta State government. It was a big thank you from the criminals that looted Delta State and successfully used Nigeria’s corrupt judiciary and twisted political processes to get away with these crimes.
Meanwhile, the Delta state governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan and Prof. Utuama are currently before election petition tribunals set up by Umaru Abdullahi, but that could not stop this show of shame and brazen impunity.
