Nigeria’s Supreme Court has ordered the extradition of Princewill Ugonna Anuebunwa, wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to the United States.
Anuebunwa is wanted in America to answer charges bordering on two counts of “conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and aiding and abetting.”
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami made the request through the Central Authority Unit (CAU).
The department under the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja is headed by Akutah Pius Ukeyima.
The Supreme Court restored the June 1, 2020 judgment by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja, setting aside the November 6, 2020 judgment by the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal had, in a judgment marked CA/A/CV/387/2020 after Anuebunwa’s suit, overturned the Federal High Court verdict, which granted the AGF’s request.
