A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered that a cousin to former
President Goodluck Jonathan, Azibaola Robert, be remanded in Kuje Prison
pending the determination of his bail application.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba handed the order today when Mr. Robert and his
wife, Stella, were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC.
EFCC had arraigned the duo on a seven-count charge bordering on money
laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption. Mr. Robert and wife
are accused of diverting $40 million purportedly meant for the supply
of tactical communication kits for Nigeria’s Special Forces. The funds
were alleged to have been transferred from the account of the Office of
the National Security Adviser, ONSA, with the Central Bank of Nigeria to
the domiciliary account of their company, One Plus Holdings.
