Mr Dudafa was charged by the EFCC on a 23-count charge bordering on conspiracy, money laundering and concealment of proceeds of crime.

A Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Friday called for further addresses from counsel in the trial of an ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Waripamo Owei-Dudafa, charged with N1.6 billion money laundering.

The prosecution closed its case on March 16, 2018, after calling seven witnesses and tendering several exhibits. On Friday, Mr Idris returned to the Federal High Court and announced that the 90-day period provided by law for judgment to be delivered had expired. “If any court of law raises an issue of law suo motu , and goes ahead to make pronouncement without affording counsel the opportunity of addressing it on those issues, the entire judgment will be set aside on appeal.
