Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered Murtala Nyako to enter his defence in the alleged N29 billion money laundering charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, .
The judge said that he had painstakingly perused the evidence given by the 21 witnesses called by the prosecution and was of the view that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against the defendants.“I have calmly, carefully and painstakingly scrutinised the evidence adduced by the 21 witnesses in chief and under cross-examination including the oral and written arguments of all the defendants.
“It is my humble but firm view that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the defendants and they are required to enter their defence immediately.”The judge held that the no-case-submission filed by the defendants lacked merit and he accordingly dismissed it. He adjourned the matter until Oct. 4, Oct. 5, Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 for the defendants to open their case.
