The accused persons alongside three others currently at large were alleged to have sometime in June 2009 conspired among themselves and forged documents purportedly emanating from the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, for use in obtaining a N93million loan facility from a new generation bank.
The other
suspects are Aminu Garba Gulma, Muhammed Surajo and Yunusa Abdullahi.
Because of their absence in court, the charge had to be separated to
facilitate the speedy trial of the accused persons that were ready for
trial.
While moving the motion to split the charge, the prosecution counsel, M.S Abubakar submitted that in order not to continue delaying the trial of the accused persons present in court and for the purpose of fair hearing the 1st, 5th and 6th accused persons should be tried separately pending the appearance of the other accused persons.
Counsel to the1st accused person M.E Sheriff and counsel to 5th and 6th accused persons did not object to the motion.
The three accused however pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them.
They were however remanded in prison custody pending hearing of their bail applications. The case was adjourned to October 31, 2014
