The judge adjourns till June 9 for ruling following the objection of defence lawyers to the admissibility of documents tendered by EFCC’s prosecution witness.

The prosecutor, Mr Uket, thereafter proceeded to ask some questions bordering on who sent the request letter, who the phone belonged to, the condition of the phone when she received it, how she went about retrieving and extracting data from the said phone.

She also said the investigator, Ibrahim Salihu, gave her key words to search for like SGF, Abia, Abdullahi and some other words.The witness said the nature of data extracted from the phone were messages exchanged between the owner of the phone, Musa Bulani, and a contact saved as SGF. Mr Uket then led her to mention the documents she wanted to tender in evidence as; the request letter, burnt CD, print-out and the EFCC’s forensic report.The first defendant’s counsel, Akin Olujinmi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, urged the court to reject the items except the request letter dated March 8, 2018.

He therefore said that as a secondary evidence which was permissible to be tendered in evidence, it ought to have been signed as a certified True Copy .
