A Plateau State High Court sitting in Jos has fixed September 2, 2022, to deliver its final judgment in a suit filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against a former governor of the state, Jonah Jang’s fraud case.
Recalling, the anti-graft agency first arraigned Jang, who was the governor between 2007 and 2015 alongside a former cashier in the Office of the Secretary to the state government, Yusuf Pam, in March, 2018.
They were first arraigned before Justice Daniel Longji on a 17 -count charge for alleged misappropriation of N6.3bn belonging to the state government.
After hearing the matter for about two years, Justice Longji retired in 2019 stalling further hearing on the case.
However, the case started afresh in 2020 after the state Chief Judge assigned it to a new judge, Justice Christy Dabup.
