Justice Halilu Yusuf of the Federal Capital Territory High Court has exonerated the former Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, and Prophet Emmanuel Omale of the Divine Hand of God Prophetic Ministry of N573million Money laundering claims.

During the investigation of Magu by the Justice Isa Salami-led presidential investigation panel, it was claimed that an investigation by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, revealed that the ex-EFCC boss paid N573million into Omale’s church’s account with which property was allegedly bought in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, UAE.

But in his verdict, Justice Halilu noted that the evidence before the court showed that Omale’s bank admitted error in its report to the NFIU, of entries in the Divine hand of God Prophetic ministries account.
