The Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order on December 25, 2025, requiring the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to produce Yakubu, the Bauchi State Commissioner for Finance, in connection with an alleged N4.6 billion money laundering scandal. This directive comes as the EFCC continues its arrest and investigation into the matter.
