A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, ordered the EFCC lawyer, Abbas Mohammed, to confirm and report back to the court if an alleged “misleading” report on the court’s proceedings was from the commission’s website.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order after the defence lawyers in the money laundering trial of Ali Bello and his co-defendants accused the EFCC of publishing untrue accounts of what transpired in court on Tuesday on its website against their clients.

Abubakar Aliyu, SAN, and Nureini Jimoh, SAN, who appeared for the defendants in the alleged N3 billion fraud, had informed Justice Egwuatu about the development shortly after the matter was called.
