In reply, Rotimi Jacobs representing the federal government said the technical word DISHONESTLY is embedded in sec 315 of the Penal Code from which the charges filed against the defendant were drawn. He urged the court to discountenance the claims of the defendant. Justice Adebukola Banjoko of a Federal High Court in Gudu has fixed Tuesday, June 12, 2018, for final judgment]]>
