The Federal Government on Thursday tendered before a Federal High Court in Abuja nine bags and boxes filled with local and foreign currencies, which were allegedly recovered from a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, in October 2016.
The items were said to have been recovered from Justice Ngwuta’s official residence in Abuja during a search operation conducted by men of the Department of State Services on October 7, 2016.
The Federal Government is prosecuting Justice Ngwuta on 13 counts, including passport fraud, money laundering allegations of retention and concealment of the origin of the various sums of money contained in the nine bags and boxes.
