Justice
Evoh Chukwu of the Federal High Court Abuja yesterday accused the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of delaying judgment on
former Governor Murtala Nyako who is standing trial before the court on
corruption charges.
Justice
Chukwu who deferred his conference meeting to witness the
cross-examination of defence’s witness, when EFCC counsel Adebisi
Adeniyi tendered fresh voluminous document as evidence against Nyako.
But Counsel to
Nyako, Yakubu Maikyau (SAN) said they needed to study the document
because it was voluminous before going on with the cross-examination
which justice Chukwu sustained.
Responding
Chukwu, condemned the act and said the document should have been served
to Nyako’s counsel Maikyau long before now, adding that the fresh
document amounts to delay of judgment.
After collaborating with both counsels, 22 April and 6th of May were fixed as new date for cross examinations of witness.
