Allegation
The EFCC charged Nyako, his son Abdul-Aziz Nyako, and several associated individuals and companies (including Sebore Farms and Extension Ltd, Pagado Fortunes Ltd, Blue Opal Ltd, Tower Assets Management Ltd and Crust Energy Ltd) on a 37-count charge alleging criminal conspiracy, theft, abuse of office and money laundering totalling more than ₦29 billion.
Outcome / Status
A Federal High Court ruled in July 2021 that Nyako had a case to answer on the ₦29 billion charges, which is not a finding of guilt, and the Court of Appeal later ordered him to open his defence. At a hearing in July 2025, Justice Peter Lifu, noting that the case had been filed in 2015, was told the parties were discussing a settlement and gave them until 16 October to report one or continue the trial. No outcome after that date has been found.
Administration's response
Nyako contested the charges throughout the prolonged legal proceedings.
