Prosecution closes case in Orubebe’s trial

The prosecution team in the trial of ex-Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, closed its case at the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Tuesday.


Orubebe is being tried on a one count charge of false asset declaration at the tribunal.

He is accused by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) of failing to declare his ownership of a landed property in Abuja.

The prosecution called one witness to testify against the ex-minister on Tuesday.

The prosecution witness, Samuel Madojemu, an official of the CCB, in his evidence-in-chief on April 7 gave details of how his agency discovered a property owned by the ex-minister in Abuja which he allegedly refused to disclose.

Madojemu said Orubebe failed to declare the property identified as Plot 2057, Asokoro District, Abuja, when he served as a minister between 2007 and 2011.

He said Orubebe submitted five asset declaration forms to the CCB between 2007 and 2011.

Copies of the forms were admitted by the CCT as exhibits.
