A prosecutor with the EFCC, Bilikisu Bala, has clarified that the money laundering charges against Bobrisky were dropped due to the Administration of Criminal Justice Act
The charges were initially filed based on Okuneye’s unregistered firm, Bob Express, but the Special Control Unit disclosed it wasn’t a Designated Non-Financial Institution.
EFCC’s Head of Media, Dele Oyewale, reported Bala’s statement to the House of Representatives Joint Committee probing EFCC and Nigeria Correctional Service corruption allegations.
Bala emphasized that the charges were dropped after verifying Bob Express’s status with SCUML, and the EFCC relied on four counts of Naira mutilation to which Okuneye pleaded guilty.
She denied claims of financial inducement, citing the Administration of Criminal Justice Act’s allowance for charge amendments as standard practice.
