A former member of the House of Representatives, Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to reopen and prosecute a case of alleged financial crimes involving the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar.
According to TheCable, Agbonayinma, through his lawyer, Hannibal Uwaifo, of Sagitarian Law Firm, gave the commission 14 days to act on the request.
In a letter dated August 27 and received by the EFCC on September 1, the lawyer said the request was based on an EFCC investigation.
He said the call was also based on a report on allegations involving Atiku when he was the vice-president of Nigeria.
Atiku was Vice President of Nigeria between 1999 and 2007.
