EFCC Withdraws From Goje’s N25bn Fraud Case by efefemi(op): 10:12am On Jun 08, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn from N25 billion fraud filed against Danjuma Goje, former governor of state. The case, which has been on for close to eight years, has been handed over to the office of the Attorney-General of the federation. Babatunde Quadiri of Federal High Court II, Jos, is the judge handling the case.

When the case came up for an emergency hearing before Quadiri, the EFCC counsel, Wahab Shittu, told the court that the agency was withdrawing from the case and handing it over the office of the Attorney- General for continuation. “My Lord, this case was earlier adjourned for June 20 for the continuation of hearing, but then we are here today on the latest development on the matter,” he said. “We as EFCC counsels are withdrawing from the matter and handing it over to the office of the Attorney-General for continuation with the prosecution.

As you can see in court today is a state counsel from the AGF’s office to formally take over this case from us.” Responding, Paul Erokoro, Goje’s counsel, did not object to the EFCC withdrawal and handing over of the case to the attorney-general. “My Lord, we do not object to the anti-graft agency’s withdrawal and handing over the prosecution to the AG’s office,” Erokoro said. Pius Asika, counsel from the office of the attorneygeneral, announced his appearance for the case.

Asika then applied for an adjournment to enable him to prepare for the case proper “having come into the matter today (Friday)”.

It's too funny.

A case of over 8 years.

It's now cleared within a twinkle of an eye AFTER he agreed to drop his Senate President pursuit to Buhari's anointed.

But people will still be chanting Integrity, War against corruption.

SMH vigorously

The EFCC has played its part.
Re: EFCC Withdraws From Goje’s N25bn Fraud Case by whirlwind7(m): 12:58pm On Jun 08, 2019
sad

Buhari personally ordered EFCC to withdraw this case against Goje. This was the condition Goje asked for in order to support Lawan for Senate president.

Our president is pwighting kwarroption wholeheartedly.
Even the video evidence against Ganduje isn't enough to make Buhari call him a thief.

Mr integrity! The role model of Yahoo boys.
