Former Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako on Wednesday told the Federal High Court, Abuja, that he has no case to answer in the alleged N40 billion fraud suit filed against him and others by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
News Agency of Nigeria reports that Nyako; his son, Abdulaziz Nyako; two companies, Sebore Farms and Extension Limited and Pagado Fortunes Limited are first, second, sixth and seventh defendants in the trial. The EFCC had arraigned them on a 37-count charge bordering on money laundering allegedly perpetrated while Nyako was Adamawa State governor.
Reacting, the first, second, sixth and seventh defendants argued that from the testimonies of the 21 witnesses called by the prosecution, there was not a single shred of evidence that suggested, even remotely, that a case had been made out against them.
