Former Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, Arraigned On Money Laundering Charges

The charges allege that they conspired to commit money laundering between January and April 2014. Additionally, one count accuses Oduah and a company, Global Offshore and Marine Ltd, of taking control of N1,629,250,000.00 from another company’s account, which was suspected to be proceeds of an unlawful act.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges, and Justice Ekwo granted them bail based on the administrative bail previously offered by the EFCC. The trial is set to begin on October 17, 2023.
The EFCC had filed the charges in December 2020, but numerous complications delayed the arraignment process. During the recent court session, Justice Ekwo requested an investigation report related to an anonymous threat message he received concerning the case.
As the EFCC couldn’t produce the report, the judge ordered the Commission to hand over the file on its investigation to the Attorney General of the Federation within two weeks to continue with the prosecution.
