N950m Jonathan campaign fund: Court acquits former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, of all charges
The Federal High Court, sitting in Kano, has discharged and acquitted a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, arraigned before the court over N950million alleged fraud.
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had dragged Mr Wali, and one Mansur Ahmed, before the court on a three-count charge for allegedly receiving N950million from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as campaign fund during 2015 presidential election.
The offence, according to EFCC, contravened Section 1 of the money laundering Prohibition Act 2011.
Delivering judgement in the case on Friday, December 11, the trial judge, Justice Lewis Allagoa, said the prosecution failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. He, therefore, discharged and acquitted the defendants.
If he has been discharged by the court, he should go
We are not in a banana republic so what the court says is what will stand unless said otherwise by a higher court
That’s the problem we are always facing in this country, discharge who stole millions of naira but if it is 10k you will sentence the person to 20 years in imprisonment.
Upon old papa like you, you still embezzle money instead of ssk for for his forgiveness.
After you have acquired him now the next on is to join APC and move on with his life. Ayinde Wasiu
Ayinde
Fighting corruption is in the hands of God, they now also turn it to padipadi, I don’t think there’s justice in the land.
Thief acquitted thief……
If he has been discharged he should then go nah
The ones others have been taking nko have they been detained? Sir please go home and sin no more.
Wow thank God for him at least he has been discharged and acquitted I can now go about his daily life
Why are we like this in this country….our leader are the theif of yesterday, today and tomorrow. If they arrested them for money lundry they still know how to release them without our knowledge…..why? But if they found people steal 1k or one peaslces of yam they will sentence the person or kill. Nigeria can not move forward if we continue like this. Thank you.
