Ibrahim Shekarau,
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s prosecutor in the
alleged bribery trial of former Minister of Education, Ibrahim
Shekarau, his Foreign Affairs counterpart, Aminu Wali, and Ahmed
Mansur on Monday failed to appear before the Federal High Court for
the commencement of trial.
The first defendant ’s counsel Jibrin Otutekpa told the court
that a letter, seeking adjournment received on Monday was served by
the prosecutor on November 30, 2018.
He, therefore, prayed the court to proceed under Section 351(1)
sub-section 1 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act to
dismiss the six counts against the defendants and order that they
be discharged.
