House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiiji, says his acquittal from money laundering related charges and prosecution that spanned over 12 years was a harrowing experience.The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, cleared the former speaker of 54 charges brought against him by the EFCC.
“I was even joking with my friend, when the Judge came, that if I had seen a Black Maria, I will have to run away. Ikuforiji, who served as Lagos speaker from 2005 to 2015, said he was wrongly prosecuted but would not sue the EFCC for that. “I got a call from the director of EFCC while going to Umrah, I told him I will honour the invitation when I come back. I called him when I returned and he said I should come, I went there that Friday morning and I spent the weekend on the floor of EFCC cell.They asked for the other members and I told them that I don’t need to get others because I was in charge.
