Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, has  thrown out a seven-point,  no-case submission of former governor of Jigawa State,  Sule Lamido,  challenging his trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, stating that he has a case to answer before the court.

She made this ruling yesterday, September 19, 2022.

Lamido is standing trial, alongside two of his sons: Aminu Sule Lamido,  Mustapha Sule Lamido,  his business associate, Aminu Wada Abubakar and four companies:   Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited,   Bamaina Aluminium Limited, Speeds International Limited  and Batholomew Darlignton Agoha in a 37-count further amended charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N712,008,035.
