A Federal High Court in Lagos has been informed about how an Executive Director of First Bank of Nigeria Limited, Mr. Dauda Lawal, laundered funds on behalf of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The counsel representing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, made the revelations while responding to a counter-affidavit submitted by Lawal.
Lawal is seeking to discharge an interim forfeiture order for the sum of N9.08 billion. Justice Muslim Hassan had, on January 6 2017, issued an interim order of forfeiture of the said sum to the Federal Government, following an ex-parte application by the anti-graft agency seeking similar relief.
