Recall that in May 2019, Legit.ng reported that the indigenous rap star made an appearance at court where he pleaded not guilty to the 11-count charge of credit card fraud preferred against him by the anti-graft agency.
Still reporting on the matter, the EFCC via its media and publicity department disclosed that the prosecution counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, stated that the matter was slated for cross-examination of the second prosecution witness, PW2, Anosike. She also urged the court to call on the witness for the continuation of the hearing.
However, the rapper’s counsel, Akinwale Kola-Taiwo urged the court for a short date since the matter is only for mention and not the continuation of the trial.
