The Court of Appeal on Tuesday ordered Murtala Nyako, a former governor of Adamawa State, to open his defence in his ongoing trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

charged Mr Nyako, his son, Abdul-Aziz Nyako, two companies, Sebore Farms and Extension Ltd and Pagado Fortunes Ltd, with money laundering. The other panel members unanimously agreed that it was necessary for the appellants to exonerate themselves from the allegations linking them to the commission of the alleged offences.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the EFCC on July 7,2015 filed the charges against the former governor and the other defendants. The defendants had filed a no-case submission after the prosecution finished calling its witnesses, urging the court to dismiss the charges against them on the grounds that the prosecution failed to link them to the alleged crimes.

Mr Abang noted that extrajudicial statements of the Zenith Bank Plc manager in Yola and Abdulmalik Dalhatu were admitted in evidence, a ruling of the court that defendants did not appeal against.
