Rickey Tarfa is being charged with obstruction of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice as he is accused of blocking the arrest of 2 suspects wanted in a corruption case by keeping them in his car for nearly six hours on February 5th when they were meant to be picked up by authorities according to a statement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) which brought the case.

Mr Rickey Tarfa denies all charges and was granted bail and the case was adjourned till March.
