Allegation
The EFCC alleges Lamido, his sons Aminu and Mustapha, and two companies (Bamaina Holdings Ltd and Speeds International Ltd) laundered roughly ₦1.35 billion received as kickbacks from contractors awarded Jigawa State government contracts between 2007 and 2015, on a 37-count amended charge.
Outcome / Status
The trial began in 2015; a no-case submission was rejected in November 2022, but the Court of Appeal discharged the defendants in July 2023 on jurisdictional grounds (holding the alleged offences occurred in Jigawa, not Abuja). The Supreme Court reversed that discharge on 16 January 2026, reinstating the case; the re-arraigned trial remained stalled by procedural delays as of mid-2026, with no final verdict reached.
Administration's response
Lamido and his sons denied the charges throughout and contested the case on jurisdictional and procedural grounds.
