Former
Managing Diretor of NNPC, Andrew Yakubu, has withdrawn his N1 billion
fundamental human rights lawsuit filed against EFCC. Yakubu filed the suit
after the
antigraft agency arrested him following the discovery of $9.7 million
and £74,000 in his house in Kaduna on February 3rd.
At the resumed
hearing of the case this morning, Yakubu's counsel, Adeola Adedipe, told the
judge that he had filed a notice of discontinuance of the suit on behalf of his
client. Adedipe said that the bail given to his client was the reason the suit
was being discontinued. The presiding judge, Justice Mohammed, there after
struck out the suit.
