The resumed trial on Tuesday was for fixed for the adoption of final written addresses. Dariye’s counsel, Kanu agabi in his address, said “the prosecution has failed to prove its case in this trial”.

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]]>
