A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, on Monday, asked a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Jabi to strike out his name from the ongoing trial of alleged abuse of office and money laundering by the anti-graft agency.
The money was for the control of an oil block, OPL 245, awarded illegally to Malabu in 1998 when Mr Etete was Nigeria’s petroleum minister. According to the senior counsel, the application was filed on November 5 but was served on the prosecution by the court bailiff on November 27. This was also confirmed by Mr Uket, who said that latest by Monday, he would have responded, filed and served a response to the application.
Mr Ozekhome added that all steps to ensure that the former AGF is released by the Interpol had been taken, including writing EFCC, the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, the UAE authorities and Interpol, which he said had not yielded any result.
