The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC,Lagos Zonal Office,on Monday the 9th of November,2020, re- arraigned a former acting Director- General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency,NIMASA,Haruna Baba Jauro alongside Dr. Dauda Bitrus Bawa and Company,Thlumbau Enterprises Limited, before Justice C.A Obiozor of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos on a 19 – count charge bordering on stealing and money laundering  to the tune of N304,118,500.
The defendants were first arraigned on April 12, 2016 before retired Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, the anti graft agency had stated.
Council to the defendants,Olalekan Ojo,SAN, earlier in the proceedings on Monday, told the court that the defendant,Thlumbau Enterprises Limited, had notified the court of the appointment of one Baba Haruna Salome,who is its Secretary,as its representative in the trial in accordance with Section 478 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA,2015. This was stated in a letter dated November 6,2020.
Ojo also told the court of another letter by Salome, dated November 6,2020, and filled on November 9,2020.
The purpose of the letter, according to him, ” is to enable the aforesaid representative of the third defendant to communicate to the court the third defendant’s plea of not guilty to the charge preffered against it”.
However, he went ahead and acknowledged receipt of the copies of the letter,saying that the original copies had been lodged with the Court’s Registrar.
The Judge ordered the defendant to take their pleas thereafter.
One of the counts reads:
” That you,Haruna Baba Jauro, Dr. Dauda Bitrus and Thlumbau Enterprises Limited,on or about the 6th day of January 2014 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court,did conspire among yourself to commit an offence to wit: conversion of the sums of N156,447,500(One Hundred and Fifty – six Million, Four Hundred and seventy – seven Thousand,Five Hundred Naira), property of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, knowing that the said sums were proceeds of stealing,and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 18 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition)(Amendment) Act 2012 and punishable under Section 15(3) of same act”.
” That you, Haruna Baba Jauro,Dr.Dauda Bitrus Bawa and Thlumbau Enterprises Limited,on or about the 6th day of January 2014 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court,did conspire among yourselves to commit an offence to wit: conversion of the sun of N15,000,000.00(Fifteen Million Naira), property of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, knowing that the said sums were proceeds of stealing,and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15(1) Money Laundering (Prohibition)(Amendment) Act 2012 and punishable under Section 15(3) of the same Act,” another report reads.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them.
In view of their pleas of not guilty, the prosecution counsel, U.U. Buhari, asked the court for a trial date and to remand the defendants in the Nigerian Correctional Service Custodial Center.
In his response, the defense counsel appealed to the Judge to allow the defendants to continue to enjoy the bail previously granted by Justice Olatoregun pending the commencement of trial.
” My Lord,the defendants will continue to attend the trial, even if it would last more than one day because we really want to put the matter behind us”.
After listening to both parties, Justice Obiozor held that the “defendants shall continue to enjoy the bail earlier granted them on the same terms”.
The case was however adjourned till March 17,18, 22,23,24,25 and 29,and April 6,2021 for commencement of the trial.
