Allegation
The EFCC charged Nyako, his son Abdul-Aziz Nyako, and several associated individuals and companies (including Sebore Farms and Extension Ltd, Pagado Fortunes Ltd, Blue Opal Ltd, Tower Assets Management Ltd and Crust Energy Ltd) on a 37-count charge alleging criminal conspiracy, theft, abuse of office and money laundering totalling more than ₦29 billion.
Outcome / Status
A Federal High Court ruled in July 2021 that Nyako had a case to answer on the ₦29 billion fraud charges; the trial continued without a publicly confirmed final verdict as of the most recent reporting.
Administration's response
Nyako contested the charges throughout the prolonged legal proceedings.
