The Federal High Court sitting in
Sokoto has given the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) until
today, Tuesday, to arraign a former Minister of Water Resources Mukhtar Shehu
Shagari and four others.
The others charged along with the
ex-minister are: Ibrahim Gidado, Nasiru Dalhatu, Ibrahim Milgoma and Abdullahi
Mohammed Wali.
They are to be docked on a
five-count charge of conspiracy and money laundering to the tune of N500
million.
The defendants are alleged to
have participated in the sharing of the $115million largesse from former
minister of petroleum resources intended to influence the outcome of the 2015
presidential election.
It was gathered that the distribution
of the money was done in contravention of section 1(a) of the Money Laundering
Prohibition Act.
