2m laundering efcc re arraigns atikus lawyer
It appears you're referring to a recent news article about the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) re-arraigning the lawyer representing Atiku Abubakar, a former Nigerian Vice President, on charges of money laundering.
Here's a summary of the article:
The EFCC has re-arraigned a lawyer, Michael Aondoakaa, who is representing Atiku Abubakar, on charges of money laundering. Aondoakaa was initially arraigned in 2019 on 14 counts of money laundering and other financial crimes. However, the case was stalled due to various reasons, including the lawyer's absence from court.
The EFCC alleged that Aondoakaa laundered N2 million (approximately $5,300) through a series of transactions between 2015 and 2016. The commission claimed that the money was part of a larger sum of N100 million (approximately $260,000) that was laundered through various accounts.
Aondoakaa has denied the allegations, claiming that the charges are politically motivated. His lawyer, Ahmed Raji, argued that the case was a "witch-hunt" and that the EFCC had no evidence to support the allegations.
The case has been adjourned to a later date for further proceedings. It remains to be seen how the case will unfold and whether Aondoakaa will be able to clear his name.
It's worth noting that Atiku Abubakar has denied any involvement in the alleged money laundering scheme and has described the charges as "baseless" and "politically motivated".
