Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the Federal Capital Territory High Court has reserved ruling on the preliminary objections raised by former Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, who is challenging the court’s jurisdiction in a ₦27 billion fraud case.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged Ishaku alongside Bello Yero, a former Permanent Secretary in the state’s Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, on a 15-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust, conspiracy, and conversion of public funds.
