Justice AHMED MOHAMED of the Federal High Court in Abuja has discharged and acquitted a former Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), ANDREW YAKUBU, on charges of alleged 9.8million-dollars laundering.
Delivering Judgement, the trial Judge said the prosecution EFCC had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt to result in the conviction of the former NNPC boss.
The EFCC had, in 2017, found over 9-million-dollars and 74, 000-pouds in a safe at his Kaduna residence after a raid.
Justice MOHAMMED also ordered the refund of the said money lodged in the coffers of the CBN to be returned forthwith.
