The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that it would appeal
against the verdict of the Federal High Court which acquitted the Speaker of
the Lagos State house of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji and one of his aides,
Oyebode Atoyebi on Friday.
The Lagos Speaker and Atoyebi had
been facing prosecution on a 54 count of alleged money laundering to the tune
of N603 million.
The Head of Media and Publicity of
the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in an electronic mail on Friday that the
EFCC was not satisfied with the ruling of the court as it had proof of evidence
that the accused persons committed acts in violation of the Money Laundering to
the tune of N338.8.
