A prosecution witness, Ms Thelma Coco-Bassey, on Wednesday alleged that Adeshina Ogunlana, a former Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja branch, accused of N20.1 million fraud, lavishly spent money belonging to the association, which he allegedly kept in polythene bags.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ogunlana, who served as the branch’s chairman from 2016 to 2018, is standing trial alongside Yinka Farounbi, also a former Chairman of the branch (2014 to 2016).

They were charged along with a former Treasurer of the branch, Aderinola Kappoa.

Led in evidence by prosecution counsel, Mr Samuel Daji, Coco-Bassey, who served as the branch’s Treasurer during Ogunlana’s tenure and Financial Secretary during Farounbi’s tenure, testified that the defendants engaged in financial impropriety.
