A Briton, James Nolan, linked to Adam Quinn, a son of P&ID founder, Michael Quinn, was on Tuesday arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja in six separate cases involving money laundering charges.

Nolan was arraigned along with six companies before Justice Ahmed Mohammed on counts ranging from six to eight in the separate cases on Tuesday.

The Process and Industrial Development, a British Virgin Island firm, had obtained a $9.6bn arbitral award against Nigeria in London over an alleged breach of a 2010 gas supply agreement by the Federal Government.

Federal Government is battling to have the award issued in favour of P&ID set aside in a London court.

Nolan was initially arraigned before another judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice Okon Abang, on 16 counts bordering on money laundering, tax evasion, and forgery of immigration documents, among others.

Adam Quinn is named as a co-defendant in the case but was not available when the EFCC arraigned Nolan before Justice Abang on October 21, 2019.

On December 18, 2019, following an application by the EFCC, Justice Abang issued an order for Quinn’s arrest, but the order has yet to be executed.

On Tuesday, Nolan was arraigned in six fresh cases before Justice  Mohammed.

The Briton was charged separately with six companies in the six cases.

The companies, in which he is said to be a director are, Exophoenix Nigeria Limited, Babcock Electrical Projects Limited, L.I.R Resources Nigeria Limited, Marshpearl Nigeria Limited, Lurgi Consult Limited, and Kriatholm Nigeria Limited.
