A Federal High Court Lagos yesterday, further adjourned hearing in the alleged N1.4billion fraud case filed against President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Paul Usoro,
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), charged Usoro before Justice Rilwan Aikawa on 10 counts bordering on fraud.
He was first arraigned before Justice Muslim Hassan in December 2018, but the case was re-assigned to Justice Rilwan Aikawa.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges before Hasssan, and also maintained his not guilty plea before Aikawa, and was granted bail.
The continuation of trial which was earlier fixed for yesterday has now been further adjourned, as Justice Aikawa did not sit.
A new date however, is yet to be fixed for continuation of trial.
Also mentioned in the charge, is the incumbent governor of Akwa Ibom, Emmanuel Udom, who is described as being “currently constitutionally immune from prosecution”
Others mentioned are: the Akwa Ibom Commissioner for Finance, Nsikan Nkan; Accountant-General, Mfon Udomah; the Attorney-General, Uwemedimo Nwoko and Margaret Ukp, who EFCC alleged are at large.
In the charge marked FHC/418c/18, the anti graft agency alleged that the defendant committed the offence on May 14, 2016.
Usoro, was alleged to have conspired with others, to commit the offence within the jurisdiction of the court.
