The trial, presided over by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, follows allegations of laundering N8,713,923,759.49, contravening the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) presented the documents, which included bank statements and transaction records from Zenith Bank PLC, detailing significant inflows and outflows linked to accounts associated with the defendants. The court admitted the documents after overruling objections from defense counsel J.B.
Daudu, who requested time to study the exhibits for cross-examination. The trial has been adjourned until May 13, 2026, to allow for further examination of the evidence.
