The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken a bold step by demanding to see the death certificate of Grace Taiga, the former Director of Legal at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. Taiga, who was standing trial for alleged bribery in the Gas Supply Processing Agreement between Process and Industrial Development and the Nigerian government, was reported to have passed away on August 1, 2023.
However, the counsel for the EFCC, Mohammed Hussain, insisted that the death certificate must be produced before the court as stipulated by law.
Despite Taiga's counsel requesting more time to obtain the certificate, the court, presided over by Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, adjourned until March 6 for further updates on this intriguing development.
The P&ID scam continues to unravel, bringing new dimensions to the legal proceedings surrounding the controversial Gas Supply Processing Agreement.
