Justice Inyang Ekwo who had earlier fixed the twenty-second of February for the arraignment because the former minister was yet to be served with the court processes when the case was first mentioned on 9th February, 2021,has now fixed hearing of the matter for the 19th April, 2021.
Stella Odual and 8 others will appear in court for a 25 count charge, bordering on diversion of funds through the operation of anonymous bank accounts among several allegations.
