The EFCC said in an explanation that the denounced were both re-charged before Justice Chuka Obiozor just because.
The commission said the lead advisor to the first and second litigants, Ahmed Raji and Quakers Morrison, were spoken to by Johnson Samuel and Olufemi Anjorin individually.
They apparently applied recorded as a hard copy to the court to dismiss the issue in light of the fact that the lead counsel for the two respondents was not in the court.
It included that the legal counselors additionally educated the court that a letter had been kept in touch with the Administrative Judge of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, looking for a mandate to unite the case as same charges were recorded against the respondents before both Justice Obiozor and Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke

"There was no solid reason for the barrier direction to look for the authoritative judge's consent for the combination of the case.
"The issue before Justice Oweibo isn't in any capacity identified with the case brought before your lordship, and doesn't require any type of union," Mr. Uduak reportedly told the court.
Equity Obiozor, subsequently, overruled the petitions of the protection for intermission and requested that the respondents take their supplication.
He at that point held that the court can't foreordain the choice of the authoritative judge on the solidification of the cases.
