The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku and co-defendant Bello Yero, a former Taraba Permanent Secretary, of attempting to obstruct their ongoing N27 billion fraud trial. The duo, charged on 15 counts including criminal breach of trust and conspiracy, appeared before an FCT High Court.

EFCC lawyer Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) argued that the defendants waited until the trial date to file objections challenging the court's jurisdiction, which he claimed was a tactic to delay proceedings. Jacobs highlighted that such delays go against the principles of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), which seeks to ensure timely trials in criminal cases.
