Alleged fraud: EFCC forced me to return N650m, ex-minister tells court

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Jumoke Akinjide has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of coercing her to return the N650million that she is accused of laundering.

The EFCC is prosecuting Akinjide alongside two Peoples Democratic Party chieftains, Ayo Adeseun and Olanrewaju Otiti, for an alleged fraud of N650m. But in a fresh application by her lawyer, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde , Akinjide said she had already been coerced by the EFCC to return the N650m.She said no prima facie case of fraud was disclosed against her in the proof of evidence filed before the court by the EFCC.

She said while PDP members were being “harassed, charged or prosecuted” over the money realised from its fundraiser, “none of the members or candidates of the APC was charged from the conclusion of the 2015 general elections till date on the basis of the N50bn fundraising.”
