Third and fifth defendants, Nasiru Bafarawa and Senator Abdallah Wali, we’re arraigned on two count charges, while Ibrahim Milgoma, was arraigned on one count charge.
Count one of the charges reads, “You Ibrahim Gidado, Mukhtar Shagari and Ibrahim Milgoma, sometimes in March 2015, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did conspire among yourselves to receive cash payment of the sum of five hundred million naira, from one Abdulrahman Ibrahim, without transacting through a financial institution and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 18(a) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011 as amended and punishable under section 16(2) of the same Act.”
