Court convicts ex-Customs chief Dikko’s lawyer of N1.1 billion fraud

According to the ICPC, Mr Hussaini fraudulently used the account of his law firm, Capital Law Office, to receive the N1.1 billion from a real estate company, Cambial Nigeria Limited in April 2010.

Although, Mr Hussaini was Mr Dikko’s private lawyer, the anti-corruption agency said, he was designated to receive the money from Cambial Nigeria Limited as NCS external solicitor. The defendant, according to the ICPC operative, had said the money paid to him on the instructions of the late NCS boss was the death benefit of a deceased relative of Mr Dikko.Investigations, the ICPC operative added, revealed that Mr Hussaini transferred much of the money to a Bureau De-Change , which was then converted into $3 million and handed over to Mr Dikko through one of his subordinates.

Naziru Umar, the convict’s lawyer, broke into tears while pleading on behalf of his client for mercy.
