The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Wednesday
arraign Mohammed Nuraini Adamu over alleged money laundering.
Nuraini, who is faced with five-count charge of money laundering, is
the son of the former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi
Adamu.
According to a statement by the Acting Head of Media and Publicity of
EFCC, Mr. Samin Amaddin, the suspect will be “arraigned alongside one
Felix Onyeabo Ojiako before the Federal High Court sitting in Kano on a
five-count charge of money laundering.”
The statement said: “The arraignment was sequel to a petition by one
Atta Esin, Executive Director of Biolocks Technologies Limited alleging
that Adamu and Ojiako conspired to use his company name (Biolocks
Technologies Limited) to execute contract without his knowledge.
“Esin also alleged that the contract resulted in the accumulation of withholding tax to tune of N1,311,519.99.
“According to him, the contract worth was N26,230,399.60 but
investigation into the alleged fraud revealed that the actual contract
sum was N92,036,490.”
