Alleged money laundering: Court remands ex-NNPC GMD, Yakubu, in Kuje Prisons

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja Thursday remanded a former General Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Commission (NNPC), Engr. Andrew Yakubu in Kuje prisons pending March 21 when it will rule on his bail application.

The Federal Government had arraigned Yakubu on a six-count charge bothering on alleged money laundering and non-disclosure of full assets.
Yakubu, however, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him.
Thereafter, counsel to Yakubu, Ahmed Raji (SAN) brought an application praying the court to admit the defendant to bail in self-recognisance.
