In a significant legal development, the Federal High Court in Abuja has made a ruling that has captured the attention of many. The court dismissed the money laundering charge brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, and his co-defendant, Aliyu Abubakar.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a decisive move, upheld Adoke’s no-case submission, citing the EFCC’s failure to provide concrete evidence to support the charges. This led to Adoke being discharged and acquitted of the money laundering allegations, marking a pivotal moment in the long-standing legal battle.

While Adoke walked away from the courtroom a free man, the judge found that the EFCC had established a prima facie case against Abubakar in certain counts of the charge. As a result, Abubakar is set to open his defense on April 22, 23, and 24, as the legal proceedings continue.

This case, which has been ongoing since 2017, has now entered its seventh year, highlighting the complexity and significance of the legal issues at hand. The ruling has sparked discussions and debates across various platforms, underscoring the importance of transparency and accountability in the legal system.

As the legal saga unfolds, the world watches with bated breath, eager to see how justice will be served in this high-profile case. Stay tuned for more updates as the story continues to evolve.
