N15 billion Fraud: Ex-Gov Akwe Doma, Six Others To Be Re-Arraigned

Justice Agatha Anulika Okeke of the Federal High Court sitting in Lafia, Nasarawa State has fixed November 19, 2012, for the arraignment of the former Nasarawa state governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma and six others being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a 17 count criminal charge of laundering state funds totaling over N15 billion.
Others accused persons being tried alongside Doma who was arraigned on October 18, 2011, are Senator John Dangoyi, [size=13pt]Abdulmumin Jibrin[/size], Timothy Anthony Anjide, Dauda Egwa, Suleiman Ibrahim, Broworks Limited and Green Forest Investment Limited.
The fresh arraignment followed the recent transfer of Federal High Court judges which affected former trial judge, Justice Marcel Awokulehin.
At the resumed hearing of the case on October 24, 2012, Justice Okeke announced that the case will start Denovo ,which is usually the case for any criminal matter starting before a new Judge.
But before adjourning proceedings, one of the defence counsel, S.I. Ameh, SAN, challenged the representation of the duo of Barristers Sesan Ola and John Ovie from the chambers of Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, as prosecution counsel.
He argued that the Attorney General of the Federation's fiat in respect of the case was issued to Kemi Pinheiro in person and therefore not transferable. Ola however countered, as he argued that the fiat issued to Kemi Pinheiro's chamber covers any lawyer from the chamber until the final determination of the case.
The judge, while adjourning the case urged the prosecution counsel to produce the fiat as evidence of the document as issued by the Attorney General of the Federation was not available in any of the court records.

It seems nowadays, everyone in the world bears a unique name never borne before and never to be borne by anyone else.

If so, then Jibrin was charged before. That he is a free man without a conviction record, only means he has been found not guilty.

I fail to see a glass house here, just a common name and no identity.

I believe the 2012 news here concerns Nasarawa state which is not in any way adjacent to Kano state that Jibrin the honourable comes from.

As for the Jibrin mentioned in this 2012 news, it would be nice if those who have revived this old news actually tell us the current status of the trial of former governor Akwe Doma and all the co-accused, including this Jibrin associated with this particular case.

How can a Kano HOR representative have been involved in laundering Nassarawa state funds with the then governor.
Jibrin represents Kano state,so what's his link to Doma,then governor of Nassarawa?
I smell that this op in his haste to find Jibrin's former sins has hurriedly mistaken a Nassarawa Jibrin to this current Jibrin,representing Kano.
I maybe wrong,but till confirmed to be d same Jibrin,this shud be taken with a pinch of salt

All of them are to be investigated.

surprisingly, this morn newspaper review on AIT, one Jagaba said Jibrin was once investigated by Efcc. The fact is all of them hv abused the trust bestowed on them either now or before.

He is the same person. Didn't u see his company listed as co defendant? Corruption doesn't have boundary or creed. They all are corrupt from the number one citizens.
