The trial of former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, over alleged N1.35 billion money laundering took a new turn at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the defence team disagreed over a subpoenaed witness presented in court. The defence argued that the witness was not part of the investigation and could not provide useful testimony, while the prosecution insisted that all required documents had already been submitted.
After listening to both sides, the court allowed the defence time to interact with the witness before proceeding with the matter.
The case has now been adjourned until June 4 for continuation of trial.
