Justice Rilwan Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Lagos, on Friday, discharged and acquitted a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA),

The EFCC insisted that the offence is contrary to Section 18 of the Money Laundering Act, 2011 and punishable under Section 15 of the same law.After the anti-graft agency closed its case on February 18, 2021, Usoro filed a no-case submission, arguing that the EFCC called only two witnesses and closed its case because their case was very weak.But the prosecution opposed the application, citing the “overwhelming evidence” it said it had adduced and exhibits admitted in evidence.

The EFCC witness also testified that the sum of N1.4 billion legal fee paid to the SANs was drawn from the treasury of the Akwa Ibom State’s account.
