The son of the ex-Nasarawa state governor and current lawmaker representing Nasarawa-West senatorial district will be charged alongside one Felix Ojiako before a Federal High Court sitting in Kano on five counts bordering on money laundering.
Atta Esin who is the executive director of Biolocks Technologies Limited had written a petition alleging that the duo conspired to use his company’s name to execute a contract.
He claimed the “contract was worth N26m but investigation into the alleged fraud revealed that the actual contract sum was N92m.
“The suspects allegedly perpetrated the fraud by forging the board resolution of the company in order to open a new account in the company’s name where the proceeds of the contract were subsequently deposited.”
Meanwhile, the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Olajumoke Akinjide, was arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi Lagos state.
The former minister was arraigned alongside Senator Ayo Adeseun and Olanrewaju Otiti on Tuesday, January 16.
The trio were arrested for their involvement in the 2015 Dasuki Largesse allegedly used for the 2015 general election campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party.
