The sum of fifteen point five million United State dollars allegedly laundered through WARIPAMO OWEI-DIDAFA has already been claimed by former First Lady, Dame PATIENCE JONATHAN.
The EFCC arraigned the former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to JONATHAN alongside the four companies, a lawyer, AMAJUOYI AZUBUIKE BRIGGS and a banker, DEMOLA BOLODEOKU.
However; Channels Television reports that while the companies pleaded guilty, the former Presidential aide, the lawyer and the banker pleaded not guilty to a fifteen count amended charge.
The offences for which the men and the companies were charged were allegedly committed between November 2013 and May 2015.
You will recall that former first lady; PATIENCE JONTHAN has already filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit in connection with the monies involved in the trial.
Dame PATIENCE JONATHAN is reportedly asking among other things that the court should compel the EFCC to immediately remove a debit restriction on the bank accounts where the monies are lodged.
