The Supreme Court on Friday ordered Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuja to continue the hearing of charges of money laundering and fraud instituted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisah Metuh.
A five-man bench of the apex court made the order in a unanimous ruling in which it dismissed Metuh’s application for an order of stay of proceedings of his trial before the Federal High Court.
The trial will now continue on June 19, 2017, a date fixed by Justice Abang to deliver some interlocutory rulings in the trial.
