The defendants are facing an 11-count charge of conspiracy, awarding contract without budgetary provision, obtaining by false pretences, acquiring property with money derived from illegal act and concealing the ownership of such property, among others. At the resumed hearing of the case on Wednesday, the EFCC’s counsel, Dr Ben Ubi, told the court that his witness was on official duty to monitor elections in Port Harcourt.
Ubi said that he could not go on with the case because he had listed the order in which the witnesses would be called, and therefore requested for an adjournment.Justice Muniru Owolabi then granted the defendants’ prayers and adjourned the case till May 2.
