The Federal Government has filed a new
charge against the son of the late General Sani Abacha, Mohammed,
accusing him of unlawfully receiving about N446.3billion allegedly
stolen from government’s coffers between 1995 and 1998.
Mohammed is, in the charge of nine
counts, accused of “dishonestly receiving stolen property” and
“voluntarily assisting in concealing money.” The charge replaced the
earlier one of 121 counts in which Mohammed was charged with Atiku
Bagudu, who is excluded from the fresh charge.
The alleged offences are punishable under sections 317 and 319 of the Penal Code.
