Cubana set free as court ends his naira abuse case

Following the position, he applied for a withdrawal of a preliminary objection filed by the defence, and since there was no objection from the prosecution, the court granted the same. The court, consequently, adjourned the case until June 5, for a report of settlement.

On June 5, the case could not go on following the absence of the defence counsel who had reportedly written to the court praying for an adjournment. The court had adjourned the case until June 25, for a report of settlement. When the case was called on Tuesday, Bilikisu Buhari appeared for the prosecution, while Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), appeared for the defence.

Bilikisu informed the court that the prosecution had filed the terms of settlement dated June 24 and adopted the same. In response, the defence counsel said he agreed with what the prosecutor said and equally adopted the same.

He thanked the court for its indulgence adding that part of the obligations contained in the said terms had been performed. He urged the court to make the consequential orders of dismissing the case.
