Revealed: How Stella Oduah Plots With Senate President, AGF To Scuttle Her Ongoing N9.4billion Fraud Trial

THE trial of a former Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over a N9.4 billion fraud may gradually be scuttled going by her secret plot with the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and the Attorney General of the Federation, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

According to the source, the trial of Oduah which was supposed to proceed on February 22 could not proceed because the co-defendants with the minister failed to appear before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The judge had given the prosecution additional weeks and slated April 19.

It was gathered that Oduah, who is presently the Senator representing Anambra North in the National Assembly, has met with Lawan and Malami to douse her case with the EFCC.

“February 22 has passed but she was not arraigned. April 19 has also passed because of the industrial action of judiciary workers. She is working very hard using the Senate President and AGF to either scuttle arraignment or frustrate the trial. Alternatively, they are planning to water down the trial through the prosecution via the EFCC chairman.

Another way is through the prosecutor, Dr Hassan Liman, a close friend of Lawan and the AGF,” a source revealed to SaharaReporters.
