EFCC Freed Alison Diezani To Save Buratai From The Masses Attack? by Nobody: 11:05pm On Jul 05, 2016
The first question is: why didn't the EFCC serve Diezani a prosecution order, but went ahead to seal her Abuja home, making loud noise and show in the media? So it was media trial after all? Again, why is this withdrawal coming after Nigerians started the argument/media campaign that if General Buratai could own two houses in Dubai, that Diezani Alison-Madueke, considering her position in government, plus family background, couldn't have been too poor to afford a house in Abuja? Is this a way of shielding Buratai and President Buhari from the backlash of their selective war against corruption?
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday applied to remove Diezani Alison-Madueke, former petroleum minister, from a money laundering trial.
Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), counsel to the EFCC, the prosecution, made the application on behalf of the anti-graft agency before Binta Nyako, justice of the federal high court, Abuja.
At the arraignment of Jide Omokore — an associate of Diezani and chairman Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited and other accused persons — counsel to the defendants had argued that their clients would not take their plea when the prosecution had not shown any evidence of proof of service on Madueke and one Kolawole Akane, who were both said to be at large.
The counsel added that the former minister and Akane were charged together with Omokore, but the prosecution had failed to put them on the defence list.
Ruling on the submission, Nyako, the judge before whom the accused persons were arraigned, held that the charge brought before the court was not ripe for plea.
Following her ruling, the EFCC counsel made an oral application to remove the names Madueke and Akane from the charge sheet.
He, thereafter, asked the court to allow theaccused persons to take their plea, whichthey did.Omokore is facing trial for alleged money laundering to the tune of N400billion

Have you done your investigation before coming online to put forward this argument?
Hope when she is taken to court again, you will not cry foul?
The accused did not cry foul, you the accomplice is crying
