The Federal High Court, Abuja has fixed July 19 to either rule on a no-case-submission filed by former Adamawa governor, Murtala Nyako (rtd), his son, and three others, or deliver judgment in the case.
Justice Okon Abang fixed the date after counsel concluded arguments on the no-case submission filed by the defendants.
At the resumed hearing, counsel to Nyako, Mr. Ibrahim Isiaku, (SAN) told the court that all the cases cited by the prosecution in support of its case were irrelevant.
According to Isiaka, who said he was holding the brief of Mr Kanu Agabi, SAN, for a charge relating to money laundering to succeed, it must be proved that the money laundered is a subject of an illegal act.
