Dissatisfied with the ruling of a Plateau State High Court rejecting a major exhibit against a former governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, counsel to the EFCC Mr. Rotimi Jacob, SAN, has vowed to approach the Court of Appeal on the matter.
Jacob disclosed this on Wednesday in Jos, Plateau State at the ongoing trial of Jang and a former cashier in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government (OSSG), Yusuf Pam before Justice C. L. Dabup.
The former governor and Pam are standing trial on a N6.2billion alleged fraud.
They were first arraigned in June 2018, on 17-count charges bordering on misappropriation of funds and criminal breach of trust.
In a trial-within-trial, Pam had alleged that his statements made to the Investigating Police Officer, IPO, and prosecution witness 10, Sunday Musa, when he was arrested by the EFCC was made under duress.
Musa had told the court that Pam confessed in his statements that he withdrew cash from the accounts of the state government in several millions of naira on the instructions of the governor, for sundry purposes.
Musa also told the court how Jang used bankers to misappropriate funds belonging to the government.
