The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Monday arraign Andrew Yakubu, a former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petropeum Corporation (NNPC) and Jide Omokore before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja on four counts of Money Laundering.
Other defendants to the charge include, Victor Briggs, Abiye Membere, David Mbanefo, Atlantic Energy Brass Development Limited and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Limited.
The anti-corruption agency detained Omokore, described by Forbes as “one of the top ten Nigerian multi-millionaire you’ve never heard of” over the weekend over allegations that he connived with former Nigerian oil minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke to steal billions of dollars in shady oil transactions.
