Court Orders Ex-AGF Nwabuoku to Open Defense in ₦868m Fraud Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a no-case submission filed by former Attorney General of the Federation, Chukwuyer Anamekw Nwabuoku, in a ₦868 million money laundering trial. Nwabuoku faces nine counts of conspiracy and diversion of public funds through several companies.
He was appointed as AGF in May 2022 by former President Muhammadu Buhari but was suspended in July 2022 over alleged fraud. The court ruled that the EFCC had established a prima facie case, requiring Nwabuoku to open his defense.
His plea of not guilty was maintained, and the case has been adjourned for the defense to be presented.
