The trial of
a former Katsina State Governor, Ibrahim Shema, resumed at the Katsina High
Court, on Tuesday, following a Supreme Court ruling which held that the lower
court was competent to handle the case of alleged offences of criminal breach
of trust, abuse of office and conversion of public funds to the tune of over
N11 billion against Shema while he was governor of the state.
Standing
trial alongside the former governor were, a former Commissioner for Local
Government Affairs, Sani Makana, a former ALGON Chairman, Lawal Dankaba and a
former Permanent Secretary, Ministry for Local Governments, Lawal Rufai.
However, the
Court, presided over by Justice Ibrahim Maikaita Bako, fixed April 10, 11 and
12, 2018 for definite commencement of the matter following a request by the
EFCC counsel, Sam Ologunorisa (SAN), to enable the prosecution amend the
charges, based on an earlier motion dated March 24, 2017.
