A Federal High Court sitting in Jos has adjourned hearing in the case of alleged conspiracy and money laundering involving Senator Danjuma Goje and four others to April 12.
The former governor of Gombe State and Alhaji Sambo Mohammed Tumu, Alhaji Aliyu El-Nafaty, S. M Dakoro and M. Dakoro Gombe are facing an 18-count charge amounting to N25 billion instituted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The case was transferred to Jos in 2015 on the instruction of the Chief Justice of the Federation as a result of security concerns.
At the resumed hearing, Benedict Agweye, head of forensics at the EFCC (PW4) while testifying on an alleged signature forgery of the clerk of Gombe State House of Assembly, Mohammed Atiku, said the document was forged to enable Goje secure a loan of N5 billion.
Agweye told the court that he was given a disputed document authorising the former governor to acquire a loan of N5 billion and signed by the clerk and a comparative signature specimen in a document that was marked A1 to A10 to analyse.
Under cross examination by Paul Erokoro (SAN), Agweye admitted that he did not know the original author of the 10 specimen signatures as he was not present when the signing took place.
