Justice Abubakar Mahmud Talba of the Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division on Friday, 31st March, convicted and sentenced two Chinese nationals, Meng Wei Kun and Mr. Xu Kuai, to three years imprisonment for each of the two count charges for offenses of Conspiracy, Money Laundering and attempted Bribery to the tune of N50 Million brought against them by the Sokoto Zonal Command of the EFCC.
The judgment is sequel to EFCC’s appeal brought against the judgment of the Federal High Court Sokoto, which discharged and acquitted the accused persons on all the three three count charges.
Justice Talba further explained that the EFCC had proven counts one and two of the three count charges before the Federal High Court beyond reasonable doubt but agreed with the lower Court on count three and accordingly struck it out because a similar charge is pending before the High Court of Justice Sokoto State.
