The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) will arraign three former appointees of ex-Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai on Friday, January 17, 2025, over fresh allegations of money laundering amounting to N64 million.
In a statement signed by the ICPC Director of Public Enlightenment and Education, Demola Bakare on Thursday, the accused individuals include Mr. Lawal Shakiru Olajimi Adebisi, a former Senior Special Adviser/Counsellor, Mr. Umar Waziri, the ex-Accountant General of Kaduna State, and Mr. Yusuf Inuwa, the former Finance Commissioner.
Solar Life Nigeria Limited, the company alleged to have received the diverted funds, is also named in the suit.
The ICPC claims that Mr. Adebisi, in collaboration with the two other accused, orchestrated the diversion of N64,800,562 in three separate payments. The funds were reportedly transferred to an account belonging to Solar Life Nigeria Limited, with Mr. Adebisi serving as the sole signatory.
“The accused are set to appear in the Federal High Court, Kaduna, to take their plea,” Bakare stated.
This case follows a similar charge filed last week against Alhaji Muhammad Bashir Sa’idu, former Chief of Staff and Finance Commissioner in Kaduna State, who is also facing of laundering N155 million.
