Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has ordered the withdrawal of charges against Maryam Isah Shehu, a final-year student of Bayero University in Kano, and Abubakar Shuraim Abdulhamad.
A statement on Friday by the anti-graft agency said Olukoyede considered the “passionate pleas and apologies of Shehu’s father and appeals of well-meaning Nigerians for leniency”.
