Ahmed Idris, the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, has approached the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for a plea bargain.
This was revealed by the prosecution counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), on Wednesday at the resumed hearing before an Abuja High Court in Maitama.
Mr. Idris is being prosecuted alongside 3 others on a 14-count bordering on alleged stealing and criminal breach of trust to the tune of N109.4 billion.
Mr. Rotimi had informed the court that the former AGF with the other defendants had sent someone to EFCC’s office requesting a plea bargain arrangement.
He said, “My lord, the defendants sent a third party to me that they wanted a plea bargain meeting and that they wanted to meet me.
