The Federal High Court, in Abuja, has moved the alleged money laundering charge filed by the Economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) against former Governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, to Nov. 13 for continuation of the trial.
The case which is before Justice Inyang Ekwo, could not proceed because the court did not sit, as the judge was attending a seminar at the National Judicial Institute in Abuja.
Recall that on June 26, Ekwo fixed this Tuesday for the continuation of the trial after the EFCC’S lawyer, Sylvanus Tahir, led two witnesses in evidence in the trial of the ex-governor.
Obiano, who was governor of Anambra state between March 2014 and March 2022, is alleged to have misappropriated over N4 billion from the state’s treasury.
