A Federal High Court in Lagos, on Tuesday, adjourned until September 26, 27 and 28, the continuation of trial of a former Acting Director-General of NIMASA, Calistus Obi, charged with an alleged N136 million fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission preferred an eight-count charge against Obi, who was a former Executive Director, and later, a former acting D-G of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.
He was charged alongside one Alu Dismas, who was an aide to a former D-G of NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi.
They had each pleaded not guilty to the charges and were admitted to bail in the sum of N5 million each, with sureties in like sum.
On Tuesday, the case was adjourned to Sept. 26 for continuation of trial following a letter by the prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, informing the court of his absence as he was before the National Judicial Council.
Justice Mojisola Olatoregun consequently adjourned the case until September 26, 27 and 28, for continuation of trial.
The EFCC had closed the case for the prosecution on Jan. 31, 2017 while the defence filed a no-case submission.
The court had, however, dismissed the no-case submission on February 21, 2017 and ordered the defence to open its case.
In the charge, the accused were alleged to have committed the offences on August 5, 2014.
According to the EFCC, they allegedly conspired to convert the money from NIMASA, with knowledge that same were proceeds of stealing.
The offences contravene the provisions of Sections 15 and 18(a) of the Money Laundering Prohibitions (Amendment) Act, 2012.
