released some hours ago said a
2:43
prosecutor with the economic and
2:44
financial crimes commission ECC bikala
2:48
on Monday September 30th 2024 told a
2:52
joint committee of the House of
2:54
Representatives investigating
2:55
allegations of corruption against some
2:57
officers of the commission and the
2:59
Nigeria Correctional service that
3:00
charges of money laundering dropped in
3:02
the trial of Idris Okun AKA biski were
3:05
lawful and in compliance with the
3:07
administration of Criminal Justice act
3:10
acja Bala head of the prosecution team
3:14
that handled the trial of Okun pointed
3:16
out to the committee that the charges
3:18
were Bala head of the prosecution team
3:22
that handled the trial of Okun pointed
3:24
out to the committee that the charges
3:26
were dropped based on the disclosure of
3:28
the special control unit against money
3:30
laundering scum that ok Farm Bob Express
3:34
was not a designated non- financial
3:37
institution business and profession DSN
3:41
fibp and could not be prosecuted for
3:43
flouting provisions of the money
3:45
laundering prevention and prohibition
3:47
act
3:49
2022 we initially raised six count
3:52
charges bothering on NRA abuse and money
3:54
laundering against Okun based on his
3:56
confessional statement that his firm Bob
3:59
EXP
4:00
was not registered with scum and was not
4:02
rendering returns to it counts one to
4:05
four were on na while counts five
4:08
and six were on money laundering okas
4:11
confession that he didn't register his
4:14
FM Bob Express with scuml and not
4:17
rendering returns to it informed the
4:19
money laundering charges initially
4:22
included in the six count charges
4:25
however when we wrote to scum on the
4:27
status of the farm the unit responded
4:30
that it was not a designated known
4:32
financial institution business and
4:35
profession D SN
4:37
fibp we cannot lawfully sustain the
4:40
charges in all sincerity we therefore
4:43
dropped them and relied on the for
4:45
counts on nirra mutilation to which Okun
4:48
had pleaded guilty she said the
4:51
prosecutor dismissed claims of financial
4:54
inducement in dropping charges
4:55
maintaining that no such thing happened
4:58
there is simply no basis for that the
5:01
administration of Criminal Justice act
5:05
acj allows amendment of charges it is a
5:09
professional practice it is laughable
5:11
for anyone to attribute our decision to
5:14
monetary issues why did we write to scum
5:17
if we didn't want to include the charges
5:20
we wrote to be lawfully guided and when
5:22
the unit responded that the farm had not
5:25
breached any law on what basis should we
5:27
have rained the money laundering charges
5:30
she said Bala who appeared before the
5:33
committee with top management staff of
5:36
the efcc charged the committee to
5:38
critically look into all the issues
5:40
raised against the efcc and make public
5:43
its findings in the interest of Justice
5:46
Chief of Staff to the efcc's chairman
5:50
commander of the efcc C Michael and who
5:54
stood for the chairman or restated the
5:57
seriousness the commission attached to
5:59
Integrity of its staff we viewed the
6:02
allegation of bribery against our
6:04
officers seriously Integrity is one of
