The EFCC re-arraigned Nolan, alongside two others, on amended 32-count charge bordering on money laundering. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that while the two companies; Goidel Resources Limited, a Designated Non-Financial Institution , and ICIL Limited are 1st and 2nd defendants, Nolan is the 3rd defendant in the case.
When the matter was called, counsel to the EFCC, Ekele Iheanacho, informed the court that he had a 32-count charge filed before the court on Nov. 20, 2019, and applied that the charges be read to the defendants for their plea to be taken. He further informed the court that on the Supreme Court Authority of Effiom Vs. the State, the counsel need not be present when plea of the accused person is being taken. Justice Okorowo then directed the registrar to read the counts to the defendants.After the plea, the prosecutor applied for a trial date and Ajara urged the court to grant bail to the Nolan, who was already on bail granted by Justice Abang and varied by the Court of Appeal.
The defendants are both directors of the two companies, which were allegedly used for money laundering.It would be recalled that P&ID had approached a British court to seek compensation, claiming the Nigeria government breached a 2010 gas contract agreement. The Nigerian government had appealed the British court ruling and secured an order delaying the execution of the court judgment.
