Nigeria’s former Attorney General and Minister
of Justice, Mohammed Adoke has been
arraigned in court for fraud and money
laundering


He was arraigned by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, on 42 count charges
of fraud and money laundering.

The hearing of the case is currently holding at
Gwagwalada Division of the High Court of the
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Adoke pleaded not to count one while other
counts were still being read to him.

The EFCC had filed the charges in Abuja, after
deciding to prosecute the former minister for
the role he allegedly played in the controversial
Oil Prospecting Licence (OPL) 245, otherwise
known as Malabu oil scam.

Adoke was arrested by the EFCC in December
last year after returning from Dubai, the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) where he was first
arrested and detained by Interpol.

The anti-graft agency accused the former
minister, Malabu Oil and Gas Limited, Shell
Nigeria Ultra-Deep (SNUD), and Nigeria Agip
Exploration (NAE) of conspiracy, forgery of bank
documents, bribery, corruption and money
laundering to the tune of over $1.2 billion.
