Alleged N29bn Fraud: Ex-Gov Nyako, Son, Others To Know Fate July 19

The Federal High Court, Abuja has fixed July 19 to either rule
on a no-case-submission filed by former Adamawa governor, Murtala
Nyako (rtd), his son, and three others, or deliver judgment in the
case.

Justice Okon Abang fixed the date after counsel concluded
arguments on the no-case submission filed by the defendants.

At the resumed hearing, counsel to Nyako, Mr. Ibrahim Isiaku,
(SAN) told the court that all the cases cited by the prosecution in
support of its case were irrelevant.

According to Isiaka, who said he was holding the brief of Mr
Kanu Agabi, SAN, for a charge relating to money laundering to
succeed, it must be proved that the money laundered is a subject of
an illegal act.
