The Federal Appeal Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State on Monday vacated the bench warrant of arrest issued for the state’s former commissioner for finance, Demola Banu.

The anti-graft agency accused the former commissioner of money laundering and misappropriating public funds to the tune of N1.22 billion. Banu was to be arraigned alongside his principal, former governor Abdulfatah on February 23, 2024, but when the case came up, he was absent in court and had no legal representation.

According to the proceedings, the defendants were changed with eleven same counts bothering on financial impropriety while in office. All charges they pleaded not guilty.
