The Former Group Managing Director (GMD) Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Engr. Andy Yakubu has not been Charged For Money Laundering our correspondent can confirm
Our correspondent’s investigations revealed that contrary to reports, the former NNPC boss is been charged on a one count charge of abetting the commission of money laundry
A source that spoke to our correspondent, on the condition of anonymity said “Information obtained from the charge papers filed by the EFCC at the Federal High Court, before Justice Binta Nyako, is that he is being charged on a one count charged bordering on abetting the commission of money laundering”.
It was gathered that the supposed case is related to a well known alleged money laundering case involving Mr. Jide Omokore, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept and former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Allison Madueke, which has been in the media since 2014.
Our investigations showed that the case in question will be coming up for hearing on July 4, 2016 at the Federal High Court, Abuja
Speaking with our correspondent Tuesday night the source who is in the know rejects the misleading and opportunistic report in some sections of the press indicating that the former GMD of the NNPC Andy Yakubu was arraigned on a four-count charge of money laundering.
“Engr Yakubu left behind a robust legacy at the NNPC, he spurred reorganization efforts at the Towers, he spearheaded organizational realignment, and improved the refineries bringing it to an all time high in performance utilization, with Nigeria witnessing fewer fuel scarcity and long lines at fuel stations”.
“We would like to appeal to our friends in the media to please always verify information of this nature before going to the press,” the source stated further.
