Justice Rahman Oshodi of the Special Offences Court, Ikeja, has adjourned the trial of former Managing Director of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON, Ahmed Kuru, to October 6, 7, and 8, 2025.
At the resumed proceedings on Tuesday, the court ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to serve both the defence and the court with key investigative documents, including the E-statement of Keystone Bank and a report from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
The judge’s ruling is considered crucial, as it mandates the prosecution to ensure full disclosure of evidence in the ongoing ₦20 billion fraud case.
Kuru, who was arraigned on February 11, 2025, is standing trial on an amended six-count charge alongside Sigma Golf Nigeria Limited.
While the former AMCON boss pleaded not guilty to the charges, Sigma Golf, through its Chairman, Alhaji Umaru Hamidu Modibbo, entered a guilty plea under a plea bargain arrangement.
Justice Oshodi, in his judgement on the plea bargain, convicted the company and ordered the forfeiture of all its rights and interests in a unit of Keystone Bank shares to the Federal Government.
