A Federal High
Court in Abuja has ordered that a cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan,
Azibaola Robert, be remanded in Kuje Prison pending the determination of his
bail application.
Justice Nnamdi
Dimgba handed the order today when Mr. Robert and his wife, Stella, were
arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
EFCC had
arraigned the duo on a seven-count charge bordering on money laundering,
criminal breach of trust and corruption. Mr. Robert and wife are accused of
diverting $40 million purportedly meant for the supply of tactical
communication kits for Nigeria’s Special Forces. The funds were alleged to have
been transferred from the account of the Office of the National Security
Adviser, ONSA, with the Central Bank of Nigeria to the domiciliary account of
their company, One Plus Holdings.
