 Reports just reached us indicate that Justice O'Conn Abang of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, has ordered Murtala Nyako to retire to enter his defense in the alleged 29 billionaire money laundering charge, prepared against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Justice Abang gave the order on Monday while rolling on the no-case submission filed by the former Damor State Governor, his son, Abdul Aziz and other defendants in the matter. The other defendants are Zulkil Keef Aba, Abu Bakr Aliyu, Blue Opal Limited, Tower Rasset's Management Limited and Crossed Energy Limited. The judge said that he had painstakingly perused the evidence given by 21 witnesses called by the prosecution and was of the view that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against the defendants. The judge heard that the no-case submission filed by the defendants lacked merit and he accordingly dismissed it.
