Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will appeal the acquittal of Jonah Jang, former Plateau governor over a N6.3 billion fraud.
The anti-graft agency said it was in receipt of a court ruling that acquitted the Jang and a former cashier in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, OSSG, Yusuf Pam.
“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to the Friday, September 2, 2022 judgment of Justice C. L. Dabup of the Plateau State High Court sitting in Jos, discharging and acquitting a former governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah David Jang and a former cashier in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, OSSG, Yusuf Pam, of the seventeen- count charges bordering on criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of Plateau State funds to the tune of N6.3 billion.
“The Commission has initiated processes for an appeal immediately.”
Jang and Pam are facing trial for alleged criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of Plateau State funds to the tune of N6.3 billion.
