The Supreme Court on Friday approved the extradition of the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPM), Emmanuel Okoyomon, to the United Kingdom to face bribery charges.
In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the apex court dismissed an appeal Okoyomon filed to set aside the June 6, 2016 judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which gave the Federal Government the go-ahead to extradite him to the UK for trial.
