The EFCC, my persecution and my vindication, By Mohammed Bello AdokeINVESTIGATION: How Nigerian soldiers killed unarmed civilians in Kaduna community
On Friday, 19 April, the Federal High Court, Abuja, Coram Inyang Ekwo, J, upheld the No case Submission I made to the spurious charges levied against me by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for the official role I played in the implementation of the 2006 Settlement Agreement entered into by the Federal Government of Nigeria and Malabu Oil & Gas Limited over the disputed ownership of OPL 245.
Nigerians will also recall that when the OPL 245 Settlement Agreement came under the searchlight of the EFCC in 2017, the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, CON, had in his reasoned legal opinion to the EFCC confirmed that he had reviewed the Settlement Agreement and could not find any illegality in the transaction.
