EFCC Re-Arraigns Bauchi Accountant-General in ₦1.63bn Laundering Probe

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission re-arraigned Bauchi State Accountant-General Sirajo Muhammad Jaja alongside an alleged unlicensed Bureau de Change operator over an alleged ₦1.63 billion money laundering scheme. They faced an amended five-count charge before the Federal High Court in Abuja. Prosecutors say funds moved through accounts linked to Jasfad Resources Enterprises. Both defendants pleaded not guilty and secured continuation of their existing bail. The prosecution then called a UBA compliance officer who detailed multiple transfers from the Bauchi State Sub-Treasury account to Jasfad Resources between October 2024 and March 2025. Defence counsel objected to some evidence, and the judge reserved ruling on that objection. Trial resumes on May 12.
