The Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, has fixed February 10, 2026, for the cross-examination of a former Acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku, over an alleged N868.4 million fraud.
Nwabuoku is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a nine-count amended charge bordering on money laundering amounting to N868,465,000.
The former Acting AGF, who appeared as the First Defence Witness (DW1) in the trial, denied the allegations while being led in evidence by his counsel, N. I. Quakers, SAN.
He told the court that he was invited and made statements to both the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) during investigations into the matter.
Nwabuoku maintained his innocence, denying any involvement in money laundering or fraud, and urged the court to discharge and acquit him of all charges.
After his testimony, the presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo Omotosho, adjourned the matter to February 10, 2026, for his cross-examination by the prosecution.
