Alleged Money Laundering: Court Frowns on Late Filing of Amended Charge against Adoke
The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court hearing charges of money laundering against a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Bello Adoke , on Monday frowned on the manner the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is going about with the trial.He was re-arraigned alongside an Abuja-based businessman, Mr Aliyu Abubakar, before Justice Inyang Ekwo on June 17, 2020 on a seven-count criminal charge bordering on money laundering and corruption.
When the matter was called, the prosecution lawyer, Bala Sanga, informed the court of an amended charge he filed on July 29, which was served on all the defendants.Reacting, the judge expressed sadness that the anti-graft agency went ahead to file an amended charge a few days to the commencement of trial.
While noting that he does not have the amended charge in the court file, the judge however said he could not say anything about the amended charge.
