Alleged $6bn Fraud: EFCC Amends Charges, Advances more Evidence against Agunloye


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has altered the seven-count charges against the former Minister of Power, Olu Agunloye and advanced additional evidence against him.


Agunloye is facing prosecution by the EFCC before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory,  (FCT) High Court, sitting in Apo, Abuja  on issues bordering on official corruption and fraudulent award of Mambilla 

Power Project contract to the tune of $6billion (Six Billion US Dollars).

 

At the last court proceedings, prosecution counsel, Abba Muhammad, SAN, drew the attention of the court to some 

amendments in the seven-count 

charges and additional proofs of evidence advanced against the defendant earlier filed before the court and urged the court to allow the defendant take his plea in the light of the amendments, while defence counsel, Adeola Adedipe, SAN objected to the admission of the amendments on the ground that the business of the day was for cross- examination of the second prosecution witness (PW2), Adewale Agunbiade.


The prosecution counsel in his response, established that it has the power to amend charges against any defendant at any stage of trial before judgment, citing Section 216(1) and (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA). While not objecting to this right of the prosecution, the defence argued that a formal leave of the court should be sought for the introduction of the amendments, citing Section 218(2) of the same ACJA.

After listening to both parties, Justice Onwuegbuzie held that a formal application for the amendment of the charges should be presented by the prosecution to which the defence counsel would respond on the next adjourned date of November 11, 2024.
