ICPC to Arraign Nigerian Lawyer Mike Ozekhome Over UK Property Fraud

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is set to arraign prominent Nigerian lawyer Mike Ozekhome at the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged fraud related to a property in London, UK. The charges include receiving a house in London, creating a false Nigerian passport, and using it to support ownership claims.

The case is scheduled for January 26, 2026, with high-profile prosecutor Osuobeni Akponimisingha leading the prosecution. The ICPC's move follows a petition referencing a British court judgment.
