Grass-Cutting Scandal: Trial to resume June 10.



The trial of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, before Justice Jude Okeke of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Maitama has been adjourned to June 10, 2020 for continuation of trial.


The trial was to continue today, May 14, 2020 but could not   due to the absence of the prosecution witness who could not travel to Abuja due to the ban on inter-state travels as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic.


Lawal, along with his younger brother, Hamidu David Lawal, Suleiman Abubakar and Apeh John Monday are facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, alongside two companies — Rholavision Engineering (fifth defendant) and Josmon Technologies (sixth defendant) — on amended 10 counts bordering on fraud, diversion of funds and criminal conspiracy to the tune of over N500m.
