The Federal High Court sitting in Katsina and presided over by Justice Hadiza Shagari on Wednesday ruled she would comply
with the Court of Appeal’s ruling which directed the court to decide on whether or not it has jurisdiction to entertain the alleged money laundering charges brought against former Governor Ibrahim Shema at the high court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
Justice Babagana Ashigar who was previously presiding at the high court, deferred ruling on the competence of the court to entertain the case until all issues concerning it were first entertained. At the resumed sitting,the lead counsel for the EFCC, Dr. Joseph Olatoke told the high court that the commission was ready to continue with Shema’s trial.
He said “Your lordship, the court of Appeal has directed that this court should rule on our observation, according to section 287 of the Constitution.Your lordship should please abide by that order.We have a certified true copy of the court’s judgment.”
