N27BN Fraud accusation: The Court Postponed the trial of the former Gov Ishaku to 2 June

Judge Slyvanius Orji from the Federal Capital High Court (FCT) on Monday was postponed until June 2, the trial of the former Governor of the State Taraba, Darius Ishaku, for alleged N27 billion fraud.

. The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) charged Ishaku along with a former permanent secretary, bureau for local governments and school principals in the state, Bello Yero, on charges of 15-calculation of violations of trust, conspiracy, and conversion of public funds.

They, however, claimed to be innocent for the accusation.

When they were continued sitting on this problem on Monday, their defendants and legal advisers were in court.

However, James Shaba, who announced the prosecution for prosecution, told the court that his school principal, Rotimi Jacobs (San) was in the Appeals Court, Abuja, for other problems.

He prayed that the problem must be passed down for one hour to allow the principal to get to the court.

However, advisors for the former governor, Eko Eko (San), objected to the request.

Eko told the court that his client’s health was still fragile and not appropriate to make him delayed long in court.

“My client is grieving and needs to travel today.

“Instead of standing below, the prosecution must ask for a clear date for delay,” he said.

Adeola Adedipe (San) in line with Eko, said that a bright day for delays is better than standing.

After listening to their submission, the Orji judge postponed this case until 2 June, June 11, and July 2 for the continuation of hearing.
