In a dramatic turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought forward fresh charges against former Adamawa governor, Murtala Nyako, alongside his son and two others, in a re-arraignment over an alleged N29 billion fraud, heard at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Fresh Charges Unveiled: The EFCC re-arraigned Murtala Nyako and his associates on 37 counts of money laundering, relating to alleged fraudulent activities amounting to N29 billion, reportedly occurring during Nyako’s tenure as Adamawa governor.

Additional Defendants: Among those re-arraigned alongside Nyako and his son are Zulkifik Abba and Abubakar Aliyu, implicated in the alleged money laundering scheme.

Corporate Involvement: Several firms, including Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited, and Crust Energy Limited, allegedly served as conduits for laundering the funds, with each joining the legal proceedings as defendants.

The re-arraignment followed the elevation of the former trial judge, necessitating a fresh start to the legal proceedings, presenting a new challenge in the pursuit of justice.

Maintaining Innocence: Nyako and his co-defendants maintained their plea of not guilty, as they reiterated their commitment to attending trial under the same bail conditions established previously.

Continued Bail: Counsel for Nyako and his associates sought the court’s permission to maintain their existing bail terms, emphasizing their compliance and commitment to the legal process.

The prosecution highlighted previous attempts at exploring a potential settlement or plea bargain, particularly considering Nyako’s age, though the defence clarified that discussions leaned towards an amicable resolution rather than an admission of guilt.

Trial proceedings are set to commence afresh, with the court scheduling dates for April, as the EFCC continues its pursuit of justice in the alleged money laundering case.

The EFCC accuses Nyako, his son, and other defendants of siphoning funds from the Adamawa treasury between 2011 and 2014, allegedly using various companies to divert billions into private accounts, subsequently utilized in constructing private estates in Abuja.

As legal proceedings unfold, the case sheds light on yet another instance of alleged corruption within Nigeria’s political landscape, underscoring the ongoing efforts to combat financial malfeasance and uphold transparency and accountability in governance.
