N400m Fraud: Defence counsel withdraws from case
There was mild drama at the Jos Federal High Court II yesterday, when
counsels to one Ibrahim Suleiman, accused of laundering N400,700,000
belonging to a bank, withdrew from representing him in the EFCC case.
The counsel, Solomon Umoh (SAN) had been defending the accused since
2007, when the he was arrested by the EFCC and arraigned before
Justice Ayo Emmanuel of the Federal High Court II.
It would be recalled that Suleiman had on 29th June 2007, hacked into
the system of the defunct First Inland Bank Plc and transferred
N400,700,000 into his private account and distributed it to different
accounts without the knowledge of the bank.-The Authority
