Well over 50 peoples are currently cramped in a Federal High Court, in Abuja, as a former Head of Service, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, was about to be arraigned on money laundering charges preferred against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mrs. Oyo-Ita is to be arraigned on 12 counts of money laundering before Taiwo Taiwo, a judge of the federal high court.
Others to be arraigned alongside her were Frontline Ace Global Services Limited; Asanaya Projects Limited; Garba Umar and his companies: Slopes International Limited; Gooddeal Investments Limited; Ubong Okon Effiok and his own company, U & U Global Services Limited and Prince Mega Logistics Limited.
Despite the government’s restriction of public gatherings to only 50 people, the courtroom is packed full of lawyers, litigants and journalists.
