EFCC Charge Atiku’s Lawyer With Money Laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has charged the lawyer to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar with money laundering.

Legal advisor Uyi Giwa Osagie is accused of handling $2 million without going through a “financial institution”, claims the EFCC. Osagie was first detained in February after his house was raided in Lagos but released from custody several weeks later.Boladale Adekoya, a spokesman for Abubakar’s campaign accused anti-corruption investigators of being “more dedicated to partisanship than rule of law”.Atiku’s son-in-law was also detained in the wake of the election as part of a money laundering probe, but has yet to face charges.

Buhari swept to power in 2015 on a pledge to fight the rampant graft in Nigeria — but critics accused the President of using the crackdown to go after his opponents during his first term. Several people close to Atiku have been targeted by the anti-graft agency since the 2019 vote, in what supporters of the opposition party have described as a witch hunt.
