The two million dollars’ money laundering charges against UYIEKPEN GIWA-OSAGE, a lawyer to former Vice President, ATIKU ABUBAKAR, have been dismissed.
Justice CHUKWUJEKWU ANEKE of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos dismissed the charges against GIWA-OSAGIE by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Justice ANEKE held that the EFCC failed to prove that ATIKU’s lawyer spent the money illegally in the buildup to the 2019 general elections.
