Court fixes date to hear Atiku’s corruption charges

The Federal High Court in Abuja has set March 7, 2023, as the date to begin the hearing of a corruption case against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

The case was filed by Festus Keyamo, spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council and Minister of State for Labour and Employment.

Keyamo accused Atiku of money laundering, breach of the code of conduct for public officers, conspiracy, and criminal breach of trust and misappropriation, based on allegations made by a former aide of the PDP candidate.

The court has ordered all court processes to be served on Atiku’s campaign office.
