Quakers, SAN, he also filed an application for bail pending appeal on May 8, 2026, citing deteriorating health and the need for specialised medical attention beyond the facilities available at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He argued that he was a responsible citizen who had served the country as Acting Accountant-General of the Federation and had credible sureties willing to guarantee his release.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the EFCC opposed the application in a counter-affidavit filed on May 25, 2026, arguing that the seriousness of the offences and the circumstances of his conviction did not warrant his release.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The commission maintained that the offences involved substantial public funds earmarked for national security and the fight against insurgency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It further argued that granting bail would undermine public confidence in efforts to combat corruption, money laundering and the misuse of public resources.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court of Appeal had earlier dismissed his application for bail pending appeal in July 2026, ruling that he failed to establish sufficient grounds for his release.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">EFCC counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN, who led the commission&#8217;s legal team, commended the appellate court for upholding the conviction.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nwabuoku was prosecuted on a nine-count charge bordering on the laundering of N868,465,000.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The charges arose from transactions involving corporate accounts through which funds allegedly diverted from the Ministry of Defence were channelled.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Justice Omotosho sentenced him to eight years&#8217; imprisonment on each of the nine counts, bringing the cumulative sentence to 72 years. The sentences, however, were ordered to run concurrently.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Friday&#8217;s judgment has now affirmed both the conviction and sentence, dealing a major setback to Nwabuoku&#8217;s bid to overturn his money laundering conviction.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by former Acting Accountant-General of the Federation, Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku, challenging his conviction and 72-year&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":130598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
