The case was re-assigned to Aikawa and Usoro was re-arraigned on March 1, 2019 on a 10-count charge bordering on laundering money for the Akwa Ibom State Government officials to the tune of N1.4bn.At the last hearing of the matter on February 18, the EFCC closed its case after calling two witnesses, following which the judge adjourned.
But opposing him, EFCC counsel Uduak Kufre informed the court of his counter-affidavit filed in opposition to Usoro’s application.
