A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a money laundering suit filed by Festus Keyamo against Atiku Abubakar.for an order compelling Atiku “to submit himself to the CCB, ICPC and EFCC for thorough investigation”.
Keyamo had alleged that Abubakar, while in office as vice president from 1999 to 2007, used a bank account belonging to a company named Marine Float, and other accounts of two undisclosed companies, as ‘Special Purpose Vehicles ’.Advertisement Assistant head of the Keyamo chambers, John Anietor, said the case was dismissed because the court was of the opinion that law enforcement agencies were not given sufficient time to commence investigations before the suit was filed.“Our client respectfully disagrees with the reasons for the said decision because the law enforcement agencies did not indicate their willingness to commence investigations, even if they were given more time.
“We are immediately filing an appeal against the decision to the Court of Appeal as the struggle on this issue continues.”
