The former minister was charged in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after he was accused of money laundering and conspiracy, which involved the funds that were meant for the Zungeru Mambilla hydroelectric power projects.

According to Channels, the judgment was a major escalation from the earlier stage, where the court dismissed his no-case submission and ordered that he should open his defence.
