The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered a trial-within-trial in the case of a former acting Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Haruna Jauro, who was charged with N304.1m fraud.
The development followed Jauro’s objection to the tendering and admissibility of five confessional statements which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission claimed he voluntarily made while being interrogated.
Justice Mojisola Olatoregun on Monday adjourned till February 21, 2017 for commencement of trial-within-trial to test the voluntariness of the confessional statements.
