$9.6bn scam: EFCC tenders more evidence against P&ID director

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Monday, tendered additional evidence against MICAD Project City Services Limited, and James Nolan, a Director of Process and Industrial Development Limited, before Justice Nora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja.

This was made known in a statement by the Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale.

The criminal case stemmed from controversial Gas Supply Processing Agreement between  Process and Industrial Development and the Federal Government of Nigeria.

P&ID had obtained a $11bn award against the Federal Government over the botched contract.

But reprieve came the way of the country last October when a London arbitration court set aside the $11bn award, holding that the contract was fraudulently secured.
