Nyako, who was removed as Adamawa State
Governor by the state House of Assembly on July
15, 2014, was arraigned along with his son,
Abdul-Aziz who is also the senator representing
Adamawa Central in the National Assembly, and
others as well as five firms for fraud amounting
to N29,099,430,879.92 (N29bn).
The prosecution alleged that between February
2011 and December 2014, the accused persons
“collaborated in disguising the genuine origin” of
a total of N24.725bn said to have been “derived
from cheques issued in the name of Special
Services Department/Mary P. and illegally placed
under the control of Ma’aji Iro, the then Regional
Manager of Zenith Bank Plc, North-East, Nigeria.
Simultaneously, the EFCC also arraigned Ohakim,
who was governor of Imo State between May
2007 and May 2011, on three counts of money
laundering. He was accused of making cash
payment of $2,290,000 (an equivalent of
N270,000,000) for the purchase of a property at
60, Kwame Nkrumah Street, at Plot No 1098,
Cadastral Zone A04, Asokoro District, Abuja.
