Alleged N3.5b fraud: Saraki’s aides re-arraigned
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday re-arraigned Senate President Bukola Saraki’s Deputy Chief of Staff Gbenga Makanjuola and two others before Justice Maureen Onyetenu of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The company, along with its operations manager Obiora Amobi and a cashier in the Senate President’s Office Kolawole Shittu, were re-arraigned on an 11-count charge of money laundering. EFCC, which first arraigned Saraki’s aides last October 7, alleged that Melrose General Services and Robert Mbonu, said to be at large, between December 14, 2016 and last January “took control” of the money transferred from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum account to Melrose’s Access Bank account numbered 0005892453.
The alleged offence is punishable under Section 1 and Section 15 of the Money Laundering Act 2011 and punishable under Section 15 and 16 .
