Four Kwara State Government Officials Arraigned For Money Laundering by NaijaCelebrity: 8:41am On May 03, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Office, on Thursday, May 2, 2019 arraigned four officials of the Kwara State Government, before Justice Babangana Ashigar of a Federal High Court sitting in Ilorin on a two-count charge bordering on money laundering.

Those arraigned include: Abubakar Ishiak, Permanent Secretary; Shina Mudasir Akorede, Director of Administration and Finance; Rasaq Momonu, Controller Finance and Account, and Hafees Yusuf, Cashier.

One of the counts reads: "That you, Abubakar Ishiak, being the Permanent Secretary, Kwara State Government House, Shina Mudasir Akorede, being the Director of Administration and Finance, Rasaq Momonu, being the Controller of Finance and Account, Kwara State Government House, and Hafees Yusuf, being the Cashier of Kwara State Government House on or about the 14th day of February 2019 at Ilorin, Kwara State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did make a cash payment of N20,300,000 (Twenty Million, Three Hundred Thousand Naira) only to one Energy Multi-Trade Unique Interbiz Limited through the company's Chief Executive Officer, Jimoh Sarafadeen Kolade for services rendered to Kwara State Government House, which cash sum exceeded the limitation of N10 million payable to a body corporate and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 1 (b) and Punishable under section 16 of the same Act."

They pleaded "not guilty" to the charges.

Based on their plea, prosecuting counsel, Christopher Mschelia, prayed the court for a date for trial to commence as the EFCC was prepared to prove its case against them.

"We are asking your lordship to order that they should be remanded in prison," Mschelia added.


Lead defence counsel, Abdulwahab Bamidele, however made an oral application for bail.

But Mschelia urged the Court not to grant the request, insisting that "the substantive bail application is not ripe for hearing".

Saraki will enjoy most of 2019 - 2023 in Courts.

He should just be paying Alfas to pray against him going to Jail.

That didn't help him in the February elections though tongue

Those were Saraki field agents. That's how much he was generous in sharing the wealth of the state.

And when this is traced and linked back to Saraki, I'm sure some uninformed people will be shouting witch hunting.

Until Sarakis godson is brought to book to account for his wasted eight years, other arrests is child's play.

The use of government agencies and the fight against corruption to weaken the opposition is becoming worse under this government.

Please let's fight corruption, irrespective of party lines. Not blackmailing the opposition and using corruption probes as a bargaining chip and political weapon.

These guys are just scape goats.

If you don't know, know this now:

Money Laundering is the biggest business in the world.

It is not a business that a johnny-just-come goes into blindly.

First you have to start a business and become an industry voice with direct connections to banks outside the country.

Once you get to this stage, all you have go do is just "clean money". . .

Why do you think some Pastors are all struggling to "expand abroad"

Why do you think some musicians are all taking up "international" deals?

It's all about growing big - so big that the main MEN with the mullah ask you to clean their money.

You get to keep a small percentage (in billions of naira)

Isn't it Wrong??

You tell me. . .
