In his testimony he denied acquiring properties while in service with funds belonging NAF.<\/p>\n<p>The judge then adjourned till March 1 for adoption of final address.<\/p>\n<p>At the hearing on Wednesday, defence counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, urged the court to dismiss the remaining count and make an order dismissing and discharging the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ikpeazu argued that EFCC failed to provide evidence to establish that the offence alleged in the count was committed by the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Ikpeazu, there was no exhibit to show that there was a transfer of N66 million from the account of the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) to Capital Law Firm for renovation of the defendant\u2019s private residence.<\/p>\n<p>The senior lawyer maintained that the argument of the prosecution that Umar be convicted on a lesser charge was untenable in law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all cases of lesser offences, there must be two separate offences as one cannot be charged for one offence and convicted on an entirely different charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court cannot go outside the law charged and convict under another law not charged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the money that left NAF account to Capital Law Firm\u2019s account was N57 million in two tranches of N47 million and N10 million. He said the only way the count could stand was to amend the charge.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, the prosecuting counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, maintained that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that money left NAF account to Capital Law Firm\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<p>He said as much as the prosecution conceded to the fact that not N66 million but N57 million left the account, it still remained a crime as the money was used for private purpose.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Dimgba thereafter fixed March 17 to deliver judgment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, fixed March 17 for judgement in the money laundering case involving a former Chief of Air Staff, Mohammed Umar.
