The charges accused Amosu, along with former Nigeria Air Force Chief of Accounts and Budgeting, Air Vice Marshal Jacob Adigun, and former Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Gbadebo Olugbenga, of conspiracy and conversion of NAF funds amounting to N21.5bn for personal use.

In response to the defendants’ application to quash the charges, Justice Aneke upheld a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction. The objection argued that, as serving military officers at the time, the defendants should be subject to trial by court-martial, not the civilian court.

The judge concurred, stating, “As officers of the armed forces, they ought to have been first investigated by the armed forces and tried rather than charging them before this court.” Consequently, he declared the investigation of Amosu on January 30, 2015, null and void and quashed the amended charges against the defendants.

Further details will be provided later.
