The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has demanded to see the death certificate of the former Director of Legal, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Grace Taiga.

Taiga’s lawyer, Daniel Alumun, had on the 4^th of November, 2023 informed the Federal Capital Territory High Court that his client had died.

Taiga was standing trial before Justice Olukayode Adeniyi on allegations bordering on bribery in the controversial Gas Supply Processing Agreement between Process and Industrial Development and the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Counsel for the EFCC, Mohammed Hussain, at the resumed trial, insisted that Tiaga’s death certificate must be produced before the court before any decision on her trial is taken.
