Lagos House Speaker, Ikuforiji acquitted of all charges in N600m money laundering case

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, has been discharged and acquitted by Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC had accused Mr. Ikuforiji and Oyebode Atoyebi, his aide, of laundering about N600 million and were charged to court.

Justice Buba 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“This proceeding should have been treated as an aborted trial and the charges should have been withdrawn,” he added.
