The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) has taken over the prosecution of a N460.75 million alleged fraud case involving the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Loft and Keys Ltd and Loft & Keys LLC, Dubai, Austin Albert, and his associate, Jinadu Musbau Olalekan. The takeover stalled their scheduled arraignment before the Federal High Court in Lagos, as the court directed the AGF's office to file the appropriate legal processes to formally effect the change in prosecution. Counsel representing the Office of the AGF, Aderonke Umana, told Justice Ibrahim Kala that she had been instructed by the AGF to take over the prosecution of the case from the police. The development followed a submission by the police prosecutor, G. T. Nev, that the police had filed a notice seeking to withdraw the case to enable it conduct further investigation.
