Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court,
Lagos, has discharged and acquitted Adeyemi
Ikuforiji, the Speaker of the Lagos State House
of Assembly, from money laundering charges.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, had accused Mr. Ikuforiji
and Oyebode Atoyebi, his aide, of laundering
about N600 million.
In his ruling, the judge described the trial as
“anachronistic” and should not have been
allowed to continue.
“This proceeding should have been treated as an
aborted trial and the charges should have been
withdrawn,” he added.
There was a loud scream by Mr. Ikuforiji’s
supporters in the courtroom as the judge ended
his ruling.
