 Court Grants Bail To Former Chikun/Kajuru PDP Reps Candidate, Esther Ashivelli Dawaki, In N26m Money Laundering, Vote Buying Case


A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted bail to Hon. Esther Ashivelli Dawaki, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, who is standing trial alongside Shehu Aliyu Fatange over alleged N26 million money laundering and vote buying.


Dawaki and Fatange were arraigned by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, before Justice Emeka Nwite, on a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, money laundering, and making cash transactions beyond the legal threshold.


The EFCC alleged that the duo were found with N26 million suspected to have been earmarked for vote buying during the Chikun/Kajuru bye-election held on August 16, 2025. The money was reportedly discovered in a Toyota Corolla linked to Fatange and parked within a hotel premises in Kaduna.


Both defendants pleaded not guilty. While the prosecution counsel, M.O. Arumemi, had urged the court to remand them, their lawyers sought bail.


At the resumed hearing on Monday, September 15, 2025, Justice Nwite granted bail to Dawaki and Fatange on conditions yet to be disclosed to the press, pending trial.


The case has been adjourned for further proceedings.


The EFCC maintains that Fatange, said to be the Director-General of Dawaki’s campaign organization, was arrested alongside her following credible intelligence.
