The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Abuja on Thursday has fixed October 6 and 7 for the continuation of hearing in the case against the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.

The EFCC had brought 10 counts of fraud against the defendants bordering on conspiracy and unlawful award of N544m contract to companies Lawal had an interest in. The counsel for the EFCC, Ofem Uket, had sought to tender a forensic report that was retrieved from the phone of one Musa Bulani to prove the charge against Lawal and the others.

The court had rejected the forensic report presented by the EFCC, while delivering the ruling on an objection raised by the defence counsel on the admissibility of the documents, held that the forensic report and the other computer-generated documents violated the provisions of the Evidence Act, 2004.
