The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) has taken over an alleged forgery case instituted against a former Managing Director of the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL), Aliyu Abbati Abdulhameed, and another individual by the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, stated this on Monday when the AGF’s legal team orally informed him that the AGF had applied to take over the matter.
Recall that Abdulhameed and his co-defendant, Babangida Abdullahi, were arraigned by the police before the court on March 13, 2023, on a 10-count charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/555/2023, bordering on alleged document forgery.
