Nigeria's anti-corruption agency Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed an appeal challenging the judgment that discharged and acquitted Shamsudeen, son of the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed of N1.1 billion fraud charges. Shamsudeen was arraigned before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on February 1, 2017, on 20 counts bordering on money laundering.
However, in a ruling delivered on December 14, 2021, on a no-case submission, Justice Dimgba upheld Shamsudeen’s submission in part by dismissing 11 out of the 20 charges. He was left to defend himself for his failure to declare some of his bank accounts and the amount in them to the EFCC, identity fraud, and forgery.But delivering judgment in a suit numbered FHC/BAJ/CR/252/2016 on February 7, 2023, Justice Dimgba held that the EFCC failed to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
Very great
Only poor child and man go to jail … the judiciary is a disgrace
