\"Shehu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The inability of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to retrieve the $25,000 exhibit from the custody of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) stalled the alleged fraud trial of a former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission arraigned Sani on January 27 on a two-count charge of bribery and advanced fee fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFCC<\/a> arrested the ex-lawmaker in December 2019 for allegedly collecting $25,000 in the name of its suspended acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission alleged that Sani collected $15,000 from Dauda under false pretence on November 20, 2019, and promised to give the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Mohammed, in order to influence some pending cases in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also allegedly collected $10,000 from Dauda to bribe the EFCC chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dauda appeared in court on Tuesday and explained how he gave out the money to the senator in two tranches of $15,000 and $10,000 in November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told the court that Sani<\/a> later returned the $25,000 to him after he reported the case to EFCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He disclosed that the commission later collected the money from him as an exhibit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
