LAGOS SEPTEMBER 5TH (NEWRANGERS)-A female Judge has been discovered to have opened an account with the name of her maid, amassing a princely sum of N870,321,492.15 million in a period of one year.
The discovery was made by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission.

The Judge, Margareth Igbeta, is a retired President of the Benue State Customary Court.
Igbeta has since been dragged before a Federal High Court in Abuja by the ICPC.
The anti-graft agency has filed an ex parte motion seeking for the interim forfeiture of the N870 million.
The ICPC said the order would prevent Igbeta from accessing the money alleged to have been obtained fraudulently in the course of her official duties.
She was accused of operating a proxy fixed deposit account in the name of her maid, Theodora Atsu, with Ecobank Plc, saving N870,321,492.15 between 2008 and 2019.
The account, according to the ICPC, was opened with the Judge’s passport but Atsu’s name on March 5 2008, with an initial deposit of N8 million.
Deposits of N123,745,925.57 and N5 million among others were made in March and May 2008.
The ICPC said the money was far above Igbeta’s legitimate earnings both as a Judge and the President of the Customary Court of Appeal within the period that the account was operated.
