The Judge on Tuesday fixed the date after counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Farouk Abdullah, and the defence lawyer, Ahmed Raji, adopted their final written addresses in the matter.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 31 for judgment in the $9.8million fraud charge filed against Andrew Yakubu, former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation .

“Having listened to the final arguments of counsel to the prosecution and defence, this case is reserved for final judgment on March 31,” the Judge said. The EFCC had on March 16, 2017, arraigned Yakubu on a six-count charge of failure to make full disclosure of his assets, receiving cash without going through a financial institution, which borders on money laundering and intent to avoid a lawful transaction under law, transported at various times to Kaduna, the aggregate sum of $9,772,800 and £74,000.
