Alleged N29bn Fraud: I have no case to answer, Nyako tells court

The EFCC had arraigned them on on a 37-count charge of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering.

In the course of the trial, the anti-graft agency called 21 witnesses to establish its case against the defendants.

“Apart from the fact that the charges are in themselves incompetent and irredeemably bad, thereby rendering the entire trial a nullity,” they said. “In order to succeed in all the counts, these elements must be proved. These elements cannot be proven behind the back of the companies and individuals against whom the allegations were made, having not been charged.

“Accordingly, the charges laid out in Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37 fail on that account,” the defendants added.
