Feb. 6, 2024
Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of a Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday, quashed a criminal charge preferred against a former Chief of Air Staff, Adesola Amosu, and two others over N21. 5 billion money laundering.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had re-arraigned the defendants, on an amended 13-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N21.5billion.
Defence counsel had argued that the defendants were therefore, only subject to trial by a court martial, since they were still officers during the period.(NAN)
