The trial of former Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Ahmed Idris on alleged N109 billion corruption charges was on Wednesday stalled at the

High Court of the Federal Capital Territory over the disappearance of one of the statements he made to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission during investigations.

Idris, who was re-arraigned last October had persistently alleged that the key statements proposed by the EFCC to be used against him in the alleged corruption charges were made under duress. Trouble worsened when EFCC seeking to examine the witness on the disputed statement could not find the statement in its own case file.

“We came fully prepared for this case to be substantially dealt with but unfortunately, EFCC appears to be dragging us back by not putting its house in order. At this point, the EFCC lawyer who insisted that the statement is vital to his case, applied to Justice Yusuf to grant him an adjournment to enable him search for the missing statement and serve on the defendant as required by law.
