The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has secured the conviction of Air Vice Marshal Alkali Mohammadu Mamu.
The judgment read by Justice Yargata Byenchit Nimpar, which also had Justices Abdu Aboki and Emmanuel Akomaye Agim, acquitted him on three other counts – one, three and four. Justice Nimpar faulted the trial court’s rejection of the confessional statement made to investigators by Mamu, which the prosecution tendered in evidence at trial, noting that, “The trial court failed in its duty by applying principles of law in a flawed manner, leading to the striking out of the confessional statement.
“The sum of $300,000 was not legitimate income from his employers. Mr. Hima Aboubakar was not the respondent's employer and had no business paying the respondent any sum as appreciation. This is coming at the backdrop of the admission by the respondent that he got more than he was allegedly entitled to.
