Justice Idris, who was elevated to the Court of Appeal last June but concluded the trial through a fiat, found Ladoja and his co-accused not guilty in all the counts. He faulted the prosecution’s handling of the case, saying that EFCC shielded the main culprits from prosecution while meting “absolute injustice” to the defendants. Justice Idris is the third judge to adjudicate on the case after Justices I. M Sanni and A. R. Mohammed. Nigerian Tribune recalls that EFCC had last year November 5 re-arraigned Ladoja following an amendment of the charge. The prosecution said Ladoja sent £600,000 state fund to his daughter Bimpe in London in 2007 and bought an armoured Land Cruiser jeep with N42million for himself using public funds.
