Umukoro is facing trial for alleged N164million fraud before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos.

The defendant faces a six-count charge bordering on conspiracy and stealing and pleaded “not guilty”. EFCC counsel, T. J.

During cross-examination, Banjo said the funds were diverted to Raremax Global Investments Limited and others.After the cross-examination, defence counsel, P. O. Ogunnubi, announced he was closing his case.Justice Dada earlier dismissed the no-case submission as lacking in merit.Related Topics:
