The former Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), Andrew Yakubu, has asked the Federal High Court Abuja to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and two other defendants to release his $9.8 million withheld despite an earlier judgment ordering release of the money.
Yakubu sued the EFCC, Central Bank of Nigeria and Guaranty Trust Bank for their failure to release the money after a court acquitted him of money laundering charges filed against him by the anti-graft agency.
