A Federal High Court, Kano, on Wednesday granted bail to Nuriani
Adamu, son of former governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu,
docked for alleged N32 million money laundering.
Justice J. k. Daggard also granted bail to one Felix Onyago,
arraigned with Mr. Adama.
Both denied committing the offence, and were granted bail in the
sum of N8 million each.
Mr. Daggard ordered that the defendants must produce two
sureties each; adding that one of the sureties must be resident in
Kano.
He said that the second surety must be a blood relative of the
defendants and the blood relative must have a landed property.
The judge ordered that the documents of the property must be
deposited with the court.
Mr. Daggard adjourned the case until March 28 for hearing.
The defendants were arraigned on a six-count charge of money
laundering and illegal diversion of public funds to the tune of N32
million.
The counsel to the prosecution, Douglas Gift, had earlier told
the court that the defendants allegedly conspired to commit the
offence on December 23, 2014.
Mr. Gift said that on the same date, Mr. Adamu allegedly
transferred N32 million on several occasions to Onyago’s bank
account in Kano.
He said that the offence violated Section 18(a) and 15, 2 (b) of
Money Laundering Prohibition Act.
