The trial court had struck out the charges against the defendants.

However, Justice Abubakar Talba, while delivering the judgement in the appeal filed by the EFCC on Friday, found the respondents guilty of two out of the three counts.

The judge said “the respondents are charged with conspiracy and making a cash payment in excess of the threshold provided by the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011 ( as amended in 2012) to Abdullahi Lawal (then zonal head of EFCC Sokoto) which was established beyond reasonable doubt before the lower Court but surprisingly the trial Judge somersaulted in his judgement and recanted.”

Justice Talba held that the EFCC was able to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

The judge said, “I regret to say that the judgment is like a fiction by the trial judge who created doubts in his mind while discharging his responsibilities.

“Without doubt, the trial judge grossly misconceived that no offence was committed.

“Conspiracy is a distinct offence even if the commission of the actual offence is aborted, and in the instant case there exists positive cogent inescapable evidence the offence was committed.

“The respondents are Chinese and an offence of this gravity in their home country attracts the death penalty yet here they are corrupting our country.

The court further held that the appeal was “immensely meritorious” and convicted and sentenced the Chinese nationals to three years on each of the two counts.
