Efcc re arraigns atikus son in law abdullahi babalele

It appears that there is a recent development in the news. According to reports, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arraigned Abdullahi Babalele, the son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Babalele is facing charges of money laundering and fraud in connection with the alleged diversion of N1.2 billion meant for the 2019 presidential election. The EFCC alleges that Babalele, who is the Chief of Staff to Atiku Abubakar, received the funds from the former Vice President's campaign organization and used them for personal purposes.

The re-arraignment is likely a result of the court's earlier ruling that the charges against Babalele were defective and needed to be re-filed. The case is now expected to proceed to trial, with Babalele's legal team likely to contest the charges and argue that the evidence against him is insufficient.

It's worth noting that Atiku Abubakar has denied any involvement in the alleged fraud and has described the charges against his son-in-law as politically motivated. The case is being closely watched by the public and the media, with many interested in the outcome and the potential implications for the individuals involved.
