The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned to May 8th and 9th to deliver a ruling on whether former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello can tender a judgment of the High Court of the federal capital territory in his ongoing trial before the trial court.
The evidence in question is a judgment in a suit between Ali Bello and the Incorporated Trustees of American International School which decided on the issue of payment of school fees or refund in trial instituted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC against the former governor of Kogi State Yahaya Bello for alleged money laundering.
Counsel to the Former Governor, Joseph Daudu, SAN before proceeding on cross examination of the EFCC’s third witness Nicholas Ohehomon, a staff of the American International School Abuja seeks to tender the verdict before the court.
However prosecution counsel Kemi Pinhero, SAN objected to the move, arguing that the defense can not tender the document at a time the prosecution is still proving its Case.
After listening to both parties on the admissibility or otherwise of the document, the Presding Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite adjourned the case to the 8th and 9th of May for ruling on the matter and continuation of trial.
