Former Governor of Taraba State, Jolly Nyame who is being prosecuted by the EFCC for charges of money laundering and embezzlement to the tune of N1.6 Billion at the FCT High Court today, February 14, 2017, lost his no-case submission before Justice Adebukola Banjoko.
After dismissing the ex-governor’s no-case submission in a ruling on Tuesday, Justice Banjoko, ordered the former governor to open his defence.
The presiding judge held that contrary to Nyame’s claim, the prosecution had with its witnesses and a number of documentary evidence tendered, made out a case linking him to the alleged offence.
She ruled that a prima facie case had been made out against Dariye warranting him to open his defence.
March 8, 2017 is now fixed for Nyame to open his defence.
