Justice Ahmed Mohamed of the Federal High Court in Abuja has discharged and acquitted a former Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Andrew Yakubu, on charges of money laundering.

Delivering Judgement, the trial Judge said the prosecution EFCC had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt to result in the conviction of the former NNPC boss.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had, in 2017, found $9,772, 800, and £74, 000 in a safe at his Kaduna residence after a raid. Justice Mohammed also ordered the refund of the said money lodged in the coffers of the CBN to be returned forthwith.
