The EFCC prosecutor said:
We initially raised six count charges bordering on Naira Abuse and Money Laundering against Okuneye based on his confessional statement that his firm, Bob Express, was not registered with SCUML and was not rendering returns to it. Counts 1-4 were on Naira Abuse, while counts five and six were on money laundering...We cannot lawfully sustain the charges in all sincerity. We, therefore, dropped them and relied on the four counts of Naira mutilation to which Okuneye had pleaded guilty
.
The EFCC asserted that it is committed to being transparent and refuted allegations that bribery influenced their judgments.
