The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a man, Fidelix Samuel Ebuka, before the Federal High Court in Lagos over an alleged N90.9 million money laundering offence.
Ebuka was arraigned on Wednesday by the Lagos Zonal Directorate of the anti-graft agency before Justice Yellim Bogoro.
According to the EFCC, the defendant is facing a one-count charge bordering on the alleged retention of proceeds of unlawful activities amounting to N90,989,517.
The commission said the charge was brought pursuant to the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
The prosecution alleged that the defendant retained the sum, which it believes to be proceeds of unlawful activities, in violation of the law.
The case was presented before the court for arraignment, with further proceedings expected to determine the merits of the allegations.
The EFCC said the prosecution forms part of its ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes and enforce compliance with Nigeria’s anti-money laundering laws.
The matter was adjourned for further hearing.
