Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja had on Monday, March 23, 2026 convicted and sentenced Nwabuoku to 72 years prison term in Kuje Medium Security Correctional Centre, Abuja, for money laundering to the tune of N868, 465,000.
A three-man panel of the Justices of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, on Friday, July 10, 2026 dismissed the bail application, filed by the convicted former Acting Accountant General of the Federation, AGF, Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku for lack of merit.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja had on Monday, March 23, 2026 convicted and sentenced Nwabuoku to 72 years prison term in Kuje Medium Security Correctional Centre, Abuja, for money laundering to the tune of N868, 465,000.
The former AGF, however, appealed the judgment and sought to be admitted to bail on health grounds, pending the determination of the appeal.
Consequently, Nwabuoku on May 8, 2026, through his lawyer, N.I. Quakers, SAN, filed an application for bail on the ground of his alleged ill health, which he claimed had deteriorated and necessitating medical attention beyond what the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, designated for inmates of the Nigerian Medium Security Correctional Centre, Kuje Abuja could offer.
