Alleged N24bn Fraud: Appeal Court okays ex-accountant-general Otunla for trial

, from initiating either civil or criminal proceedings against a former Accountant General of the Federation , Jonah Otunla.

The judge, Danlami Senchi, who read the judgement, noted that Mr Otunla did not provide any written commitment, except his words and that of his lawyer, that such an agreement existed. The EFCC investigated Mr Otunla in relation to two cases: The alleged diversion of about N24 billion meant for disengaged staff of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria and the N2 billion allegedly received from the office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.

He stated that sometime in 2015, he was invited by a team of EFCC’s investigators, probing the alleged diversion of funds from the office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, pension funds. Otunla said he later met with Magu, in the course of the investigation, when the then acting EFCC Chair told him in person to “refund the monies linked to your companies and nobody will prosecute you.

Nigeria is what Nigerians are, just steal enough money and fight the system headlong. Courts are just determining whether to prosecute this one. I'm certain he'll appeal this to the SC. If SC upheld this judgment, then, the real trial will begin and last for God knows when💔😡
