Former Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Monster of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke has attained victory against Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as
Federal High Court, Abuja dismissed the the Commission’s money laundering charge against him.
In a ruling on Adoke’s no-case submission, Justice Inyang Ekwo
said that the EFCC had not been able to prove the essential ingredients of the evidence adduced in counts one to four of the 10-count charge filed against the ex-AGF and his co-defendant, Aliyu Abubakar.
Justice Ekwo, who held that the evidence were manifestly unreliable, consequently upheld Adoke’s no-case submission.
He declared Adoke discharged and acquitted of the money laundering charge.
The EFCC had sued Adoke and Abubakar on a 10-count amended charge bordering on money laundering offences. The matter, which began in 2017, had lasted for about 7 years
