A former group managing director of Nigeria’s oil corporation who was
accused of fraud has been granted a 300 million Naira bail by an Abuja
court.
Andrew Yakubu, the ex-group managing director of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), was charged with money laundering and
fraud when he appeared in court in Abuja on March 16.
The charges relate to the discovery by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) of $9.8 million and £74,000 in cash at a property in
Kaduna.
He was also charged with failing to make a “full disclosure” of his
assets and for unlawfully transporting the cash to the city. He pleaded
not guilty.
