the tune of N400million.
Prosecution
Counsel, Silvanus Tahir and his defence counterpart, A.C Oziokwu, who
represents the first defendant, Metuh, adopted their final written addresses.
The

discharge his client as the allegations against him were not proved. Arguing
likewise, Tochukwu Onwugbufor, SAN, counsel to the second defendant, Destra
Investment, said the prosecution failed to prove the allegation against the
company.
