A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered
Azibaola Roberts the cousin of the Former President Goodluck Jonathan to
be remanded in Kuje prison till 8th May (Wednesday) when the court will
rule on his bail application. Justice Nnamdi Dimgba gave the ruling
today after Roberts was formally charged with money laundering by the
Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission.
However, the judge allowed Mr. Azibaola's wife to keep enjoying her administrative bail from the EFCC. Azibaola is standing trial for alleged financial fraud and diversion of $40million public funds through the account of One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited, which belongs to him.
