The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a woman, Adeyinka Nike Aderonmu, before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering involving N328.5 million.
Aderonmu was arraigned on Wednesday by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the anti-graft agency before Justice E. U. Akpan on a three-count charge bordering on the transfer and retention of funds suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
According to the EFCC, the defendant allegedly handled transactions amounting to N328,558,800, which investigators believe were linked to illicit financial activities.
The commission told the court that the offences contravened provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act.
Details of the charges were presented before the court during the arraignment proceedings, with the prosecution maintaining that the funds in question were reasonably suspected to have originated from unlawful activities.
The defendant was subsequently asked to respond to the charges brought against her by the anti-corruption agency.
The matter forms part of the EFCC’s ongoing crackdown on financial crimes, illicit fund transfers, and money laundering across the country.
Further proceedings in the case are expected to continue before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
