The Justice Okon Abang-led Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on Monday, terminated all charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against the former Chief of Defence Staff, late Alex Badeh.
The court, however, found guilty, a company, Iyalikam Nigeria Limited, standing trial with the late chief of Defence staff.
According to Justice Abang, ““In view of the fact that the first defendant in the original charge is reported dead, all charges against the first defendant are hereby terminated.”
“Having regard to the plea bargain and plea duly taken, I hereby find the defendant Iyalikam Nigeria limited guilty.
“The defendant is hereby wound up and this judgement shall be served on the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for necessary action.
“All properties in line with the 10-count charge are hereby forfeited to the Federal Republic of Nigeria through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).
Recall that Late Badeh was murdered last year by gunmen when he was on his way back from his farm in Nasarawa.
