Two Chinese Nationals, Meng Wei Kun and Xu Kuai are standing trial before a Sokoto State High Court on a two-count charge of conspiracy and attempting to bribe one Abdullahi Lawal, former Head of the Sokoto Zonal Command of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
They lost in their bid to stop their trail.
A Sokoto State High Court presided by Justice Mohammed Sifawa, dismissed their no-case submission.
According to Justice Sifawa,” a prima facie case has been established against the defendants and therefore they must enter a defence”.
Meng and Xu, both staff of China Zhongao Nigeria Ltd, allegedly tried using the sum of 50 million to compromise EFCC’s investigation into the company’s conduct in a contract in Zamfara State.
In the course of the trial, the EFCC had called three witnesses and tendered documents which were all admitted in evidence by the Court.
