- The FCT High Court, Apo, has granted EFCC order to arraign Alison-Madueke, former chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Company, Olajide Omokore, on five counts

- Alison-Madueke and Omokore are billed to be arraigned on five-count charge bordering on conspiracy and illegal acts of accepting and giving bribe

- Faruk Abdullahi, counsel to the commission, earlier told the court that the arraignment would not hold as Alison-Madueke and her co-accused were not available

The high court of the Federal Capital Territory, Apo on Wednesday, May 22, fixed October 3, for the arraignment of Deziani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum on five counts bordering on conspiracy and illegal act of accepting and giving gratifications.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission leave to arraign Alison-Madueke, former chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Company, Olajide Omokore, on five counts on February 25.

The date was fixed following the absence of Justice Valentine Ashi, trial judge who was on another official engagement. Faruk Abdullahi, counsel to the EFCC had told the court on February 25, that the arraignment would not hold as Alison-Madueke and her co-accused were not in court.

Abdullahi explained that the EFCC had forwarded a request to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) for onward commencement of Alison-Madueke’s repatriation process from the United Kingdom.

He said the absence of the second defendant, (Omokore) was linked to the commission’s inability to serve him with the court’s processes. The prosecutor, therefore, prayed the court for further adjournment to enable the team tidy up its house.

Adeniyi Adegbonmire, SAN, Counsel to Omokore said his client was prepared to stand trial but that the right process to commence the trial must be adhered to.

Alison-Madueke and Omokore, are billed to be arraigned on five-count charge bordering on conspiracy and illegal acts of accepting and giving bribe. EFCC averred that the accused persons had conspired at different levels to commit the fraud.

The anti-graft body further alleged that the ex-minister accepted gift of properties described as penthouse 22, Block B, Admiralty Estate, Ikoyi, and penthouse 21, building 5, block C, Banana Island, Lagos. The EFCC said the alleged offence, contravened the provisions of Sections 26(1) and 17 of the EFCC Act, 2000.

Recall that Legit.ng reported that senior advocate of Nigeria, Dele Belgore, told a Federal High Court in Lagos, that he thought the N450 million was sent from the PDP 2015 presidential campaign headquarters in Abuja and not part of $115 million, doled out by Alison-Madueke.

Beogore was being led in evidence by his counsel, Ebun Shofunde (SAN), at the resumed trial over N450 million money laundering charge preferred against him by the EFCC.
