The EFCC accused Shasore of inducing one Olufolakemi Adelore to accept a cash payment of $100,000 without going through a financial institution in a four-count.
He was also accused of making a $100,000 cash payment to Olufolakemi Adelore via Auwalu Habu and Wole Aboderin.
Shasore was alleged to have committed the crimes on November 18, 2014.
