Justice MOHAMMED IDRIS fixed the date after parties in the case adopted their written addresses and made their final arguments.
This is coming twelve years after the trial commenced.
In its final arguments, the prosecuting counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ROTIMI JACOBS, asked the judge to jail the defendants as the prosecution had proved the allegations against them.
JACOBS also told the court that contrary to Senator KALU’s statement that Abia did not have as much as seen billion naira during his administration, information from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation revealed that total allocation to the state when the lawmaker was governor was one hundred and thirty billion naira.
On their part; defense counsels asked the court to dismiss the charges, acquit and discharge their clients insisting that the prosecution failed to prove its case against them.
