The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed money laundering charges preferred against a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Robert Azibaola, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Azibaola and his company, One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited, were accused by the commission of receiving the sum of $40m from the Office of the then National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, in September 2014 for the “supply of tactical communication equipment.”

The commission claimed that the job was badly done.
Delivering judgment on Monday, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, discharged and acquitted Azibaola and his company on the ground that there were many doubts raised in the prosecution’s case which were not investigated and cleared.
“The doubts are bound to be resolved in favour of the defendants,” he ruled.
