Nigeria Drop Charges 100 Billion Naira Charge Aganist Mohammed Abacha And Was Discharged By Abuja High Court, Trial Discontinued

The son of late Military president Sani Abacha, Mohammed has been discharged by a Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly receiving 100 billion naira worth of stolen property.
The Attorney General of the Federation who initially filed the 9-count charges against Abacha told the Federal Government counsel, Daniel Enwelum to withdraw the charges.
Today in Abuja, Justice Mamman Kolo discharged Mohammed Abacha and ordered the discontinuation of the trial.
It would be recalled that Daniel Enwelum was hired by Federal government to prosecute the case to its logical conclusion.
The Attorney General of the Federation alleged that Mohammed Abacha had received property worth N100.38 billion between 1995 and 1998, which was acquired unlawfully by the father and later forfeited to government.
According to the charge, dated 24th March 2014, Mohammed hid £141,100,000 $384,353,000 in cash and travellers' cheques.

He was also accused, within the same time, of voluntarily assisting in concealing $26,913,500.00 allegedly stolen from the Federal Government. Also in June 1997 in Abuja, he allegedly dishonestly received $10,000,000.00 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.
Count Six accused him of dishonestly receiving, between February and December 1997, $87,000,000 and £41,143,000 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.
Two other counts accused Mohammed of voluntarily assisting in concealing the amounts mentioned in count six, and dishonestly receiving (between January and August 1998), $167,000,000 and £99,957,000 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.
