Allegation
After leaving office Nnamani was charged by the EFCC with laundering and diverting Enugu State funds through the network associated with his 'Ebeano' political machine.
Outcome / Status
On 7 July 2015 Justice Mohammed Yunusa of the Federal High Court, Lagos, accepted guilty pleas from four Nnamani-linked companies on charges of failing to comply with lawful EFCC inquiries and ordered their assets forfeited to the Federal Government, including 22 duplexes at the Ebeano estate. Nnamani's own trial had been severed because he was abroad for treatment. On 20 February 2018, when the EFCC sought to re-arraign him over alleged laundering of ₦4.5 billion, Justice Chuka Obiozor held that, in view of the July 2015 plea-bargain judgment, there was no valid charge before the court and expunged the entire proceedings; the EFCC prosecutor had said the proceedings should be expunged so that fresh charges could be filed. Nnamani had returned to elective office as a senator while the case was pending.
Administration's response
No sustained resolution; the case became another long-running, unfinished governor prosecution.
