Court adjourns 1.4billion naira fraud case against NBA president

A federal high court Lagos on Thursday adjourned hearing in the alleged 1.4billion naira fraud case filed against president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Paul Usoro.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission charged Usoro before justice Rilwan Aikawa on 10 counts bordering fraud.

He was first arraigned before justice Muslim Hassan in December 2018.

He had pleaded not guilty to the charges before Hassan, and also maintained his not guilty plea before Aikawa, and was granted bail.

The continuation of trial which was earlier fixed for today has now been further adjourned, as justice Aikawa did not sit.

However, a new date is yet to be fixed for continuation of trial.
