The Federal High Court in Abuja will rule on November 13 regarding a no-case submission from Anamekwe Nwabuoku, the former acting Accountant-General of the Federation, accused of N868m fraud. Justice James Omotosho announced the date after both parties presented their final arguments. Nwabuoku's counsel, Norrison Quakers, argued that the prosecution, represented by Ekele Iheanacho of the EFCC, failed to establish a prima facie case. The EFCC claims Nwabuoku conspired with several companies to launder public funds while serving as Director of Finance and Accounts at the Ministry of Defence from 2019 to 2021. He has pleaded not guilty, and the court will decide whether to dismiss the no-case submission or proceed with the defense on the scheduled date.
