Nigerian ex-governor Ishaku's lawyer distances him from N27bn fraud payments

In an ongoing corruption trial, the lawyer for former Taraba State governor Darius Ishaku is attempting to distance his client from suspicious payments, claiming Ishaku did not issue payment instructions, but his co-accused did. The case involves alleged fraud of N27 billion, with payments made into a state official's bank account. This is a routine legal development in an established corruption case, with no new facts or major shifts.
