he Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday reserved ruling till March 9 on a no-case-submission filed by Olisa Metuh, the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr. Metuh filed a no-case-submission in the alleged Money Laundering charges brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The judge, Okon Abang, reserved the date after counsel to the parties adopted their written addresses.

Mr. Abang said that the court’s mandate to either give ruling or deliver judgment on the motion would depend on the merit of the submissions.

“In the circumstance, the court can only rule if the motion fails and if the motion succeeds the court can only deliver judgment,’’ He said.

He said if the motion failed, the defendants would open their cases. Defendants would be acquitted if the case succeeded, however, he advised.

He adjourned till March 9.
