The judgement came as a huge relief, discharging both father and son from all count charges related to money laundering.

Justice Adamu Waziri, delivering the lead judgment, ruled in favour of the appellants, setting aside and striking out the ruling of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He pointed out that the Federal High Court lacked territorial jurisdiction over the alleged offence, leading to their acquittal.

The EFCC had charged Sule Lamido and his sons, Aminu Sule Lamido and Mustapha Sule Lamido, along with other individuals and companies, with money laundering involving a substantial amount.

The Federal High Court in Abuja had initially dismissed the no-case submission filed by Mr Lamido, stating that he had a case to answer regarding the N712 million money laundering charges.

The case had been embroiled in legal complexities and disputes for an astounding period of approximately nine years.

This prolonged battle has finally culminated in a decision that cleared the Lamido family of all charges.

The Court of Appeal’s verdict marks a significant milestone in the Nigerian legal system.
