The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) presented damning testimony before the Federal High Court in Maitama detailing how former Acting Accountant General of the Federation, Chukwunyere Nwabuoku, allegedly diverted over ₦868 million through fake security expenditure claims and dummy companies.
ICPC investigator Gudi Johnson testified that Nwabuoku directed ministry staff to transfer funds meant for the Ministry of Defence into accounts of companies like Teemell, Touch Global, and M. Daddy’s Ltd, with millions later traced to property purchases and generator payments. A property worth ₦65 million was linked to him and seized. The court admitted documents from multiple agencies, including ONSA, CCB, and Zenith Bank, as evidence. The case was adjourned to May 22 and 23.
