A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday discharged and acquitted a former Group Managing Director, GMD, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Andrew Yakubu from the $9.8 million corruption charges brought against him by the Federal Government.

Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed in a judgment ordered the huge foreign exchange seized from him in 2017 and kept at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) be refunded to him forthwith.

The Judge held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which put Yakubu on trial, failed woefully to establish that he held the money over and above the threshold allowed by law.

Justice Mohammed further said that the evidence of the witnesses of the anti-graft agency created gap of doubts which must be resolved in favour of the defendant.

Buhari acquitted him because he is a northern Muslim. If he were to be be one shinedu, Buhari would have jailed him.

Oh, I just checked the name Andrew, he must be a Christian, so lemme modify.

Buhari acquitted him because he is a northerner, if he were to be a southerner, Buhari would have jailed him. angry

If only Nigerians knew that such amount was stolen and hidden there,they would have descended on the money.

There was no way a huge amount of money would be kept inside a house,if it was not stolen

I believe the man got the best lawyers and proofed that such funds were a gift to him.

If you know what Directors in NNPC are seeing talkless of GMD. EFCC didn't present it's case well.

The man looked tired sef with too much money.

Nonsense

Is it the fault of the court or the fact before it. Law enforcement should have evidence base fact to nail their suspects, through thorough investigation
