A Federal High Court in Lagos, yesterday, fixed March 28 to decide on a no-case submission raised by the defence, in the trial of an Oil Marketer charged with N1.7 billion fuel subsidy frauds.
The accused, Samuel Owa and his Company, Stone Bridge Oil Ltd, are charged alongside a Cargo Surveyor, OassisiWajutom and his Company, Vibrant Ventures Ltd, on four-counts bordering on the offence.
At the last adjourned date on Feb. 21, the prosecutor, Mr Dania Abdullahi, closed the case for the prosecution, while the court had adjourned the case for continuation of trial.
When the case was called on Wednesday, the Defence Counsel, Dr Joseph Nwobike, SAN, made a no-case submission before the court, on the grounds that the accused had no case to answer.
He, therefore, presented a summary of his submissions before the court.
