The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Thursday arraigned a former Lagos Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice Olasupo Shasore (SAN) for alleged laundering of $200,000.
Shasore, who served as AG during the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola, was brought before Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke and confronted with a four-count charge marked FHC/L/447C/2022.
The charge, seen by The Nation, was dated August 12, 2022, but was filed at 1:30 pm on August 18, 2022.
In it, the EFCC claimed that Shasore committed the offence on or about November 18, 2014.
The anti-graft agency claimed in the charge that the defendant induced a former Legal Director at the Petroleum Ministry, Olufolakemi Adelore, in accepting cash payment of the sum of $100,000 without going through a financial institution.
He was also alleged to have made a cash payment of $100,000 to Adelore through Messrs Auwalu Habu and Wole Aboderin.
