Justice Mikail Abdullahi of the Niger State High Court, Minna, on Wednesday, October 14, 2020, adjourned till to October 26, 2020, for hearing on the application brought by Tanko Beji, the third defendant in the money laundering case involving the former Niger State governor, Muazu Babangida Aliyu and Barrister Umar Nasko, seeking the striking out of the case.
.
Aliyu, his then Chief of Staff, Nasko and the chairman, Niger State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Beji, are facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on amended seven-count charge, bordering on money laundering and criminal breach of trust to the tune of over N2billion, which the court struck out on June 19, 2020, but was relisted in the state high court, following an application by the prosecution.

In a motion filed by Beji’s counsel, Muhammed Ndayako, who represented Mamman Mike Osman, SAN, the third defendant sought the order of the court to strike out the case with charge number: NSHC/EFCC/2C/2017 for lack of merit as well as an order of the court to set aside his September 14, 2020 re-arraignment alongside the first and second defendants following the relisting of the case.
