The trial of ex-Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, and three others could not continue on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, as the trial judge, Justice Anwuli Chikere of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, disclosed that the case file had been returned to the Chief Judge for re-assignment.
She said: “Mr Prosecutor, due to personal reasons, I have sent this case back to the Chief Judge for reassignment. When it is reassigned to another judge, hearing notices will be issued”.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor, Aliyu M. Yusuf, had earlier told the court that he had filed additional proof of evidence and was ready to present the amended charge. Moro is being prosecuted by the EFCC, alongside one-time Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Anastasia Daniel-Nwobia; a deputy director in the Ministry, F. O Alayebami; one Mahmood Ahmadu (at large), and Drexel Tech Nigeria Limited, a firm that was given the recruitment job, in the fatal Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise in 2014.
