At the resumed sitting, the Federal Government called its first witness, Clement Osagie a representative of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
But Before the prosecution could go ahead with the examination of the witness, counsel to the 2nd defendant raised objections to the witness giving any evidence.

He also submitted that the name Clement Osagie was not mentioned in the original charge and proof of evidence.
