Court hears N700m ‘fraud’ case against APC’s Ize-Iyamu, ex-Edo dep gov, PDP chairman
Ize-Iyamu is the leading All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Edo.
Other defendants are Lucky Imasuen, ex-Edo governor; People’s Democratic Party state chairman, Tony Aziegbemi; party chieftain, Dan Orbih; and Efe Erimuoghae. Prosecution counsel, Francis Jibro, sought the court’s ruling on the competence of the eight-count charges preferred against the defendants.The defendants had at the last sitting, challenged the charges on the ground that they contained the name of Tony Anenih, now deceased.Earlier, counsel to the first defendant, Charles Edosomwan, SAN, told the court that he filed a motion challenging the jurisdiction of the court.
“In spite of the ruling, we have a motion dated June 1, 2020, challenging the jurisdiction of this honourable court to entertain proceedings”.Responding, Jibro said based on the ruling which found the charges not defective, the next thing was for the defendants to take their pleas.“The stage is set for us to proceed based on the ruling of the court, not this motion. My Lord has ruled that any objection can be taken after a plea has been taken. No exception.
