The EFCC on March 6, 2020 re-arraigned Uyiekpen Giwa-Osagie, lawyer to a former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, before Justice C.J. Aneke of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
He was arraigned on a three-count charge for allegedly laundering $2m during the 2019 general elections.
Uyiekpen Giwa-Osagie was rearraigned alongside his younger brother, Erhunse Giwa-Osagie for conspiring to make cash payment of $2m without going through a financial institution during the 2019 general election period.
Such transactions violate the provisions of Sections 18(a) and 1(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011, according to Commission ‘s prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo.
