Alex Enumah in AbujaThe trial of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, on alleged procurement fraud was on Tuesday stalled before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Responding, Justice Muazu drew his attention to a letter from the EFCC praying for an adjournment of the matter to a later date.
Burkaa therefore urged the court to disregard the letter and foreclose the case of the prosecution.
Justice Muazu agreed with Burkaa that the action of EFCC amounted to trial by ambush and a clear case of fishing for evidence in the trial that commenced since November 28, 2023.
SGF.43/L.01/201 and purported same to have emanated from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
