Court Asks EFCC: ‘Are You Witch-Hunting?’ in Colleen Yesufu Land Dispute

After 23 days confined to her home and two days in EFCC custody, Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac faced an attempt to extend her detention until October 2026. The court refused and sharply questioned whether the prosecution had turned personal. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik noted that Rebecca had never resisted trial. She reminded the EFCC that its bail order was to ensure Rebecca’s appearance, not to strip her of liberty for months. Questions now focus on the complainant’s claim to Plots 1861 and 1862. Colleen Yesufu was neither the original allottee nor a director or shareholder of the companies tied to those plots. A key authorisation letter for how title documents changed hands is missing, deepening doubts. With critical ownership issues unresolved, the judge’s question—“Are you witch-hunting?”—echoes the wider concern that Rebecca’s rights were pursued more aggressively than the evidence warranted.
