“Report of Alleged Criminal Misappropriation and Continuous Illegal Dealings with Classified Information belonging to Nigerian Army Properties Limited by Abdullahi Mohammed.” The petition had 11 allegations against the suspect.

After a thorough investigation by the FCT State Criminal Investigation Department of the Nigerian Police, a report signed by the O/C monitoring unit of the CID FCT Police Command read:

“It is clear that a case of criminal misappropriation has not been proven against the suspect for lack of substantive evidence.”

The legal team also stated that there is no evidence in support or shown to sustain the alleged offence of criminal misappropriation under sections 308 and 312 of the Penal Code Law.
