The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has formally charged Andrew Yakubu, the former group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, with asset concealment and money laundering.
The seven count charge was contained in court papers filed on 9 March at the Federal High Court Abuja.
