Both of them were being tried before the court by the EFCC on charges bordering on N5.3 billion fraud. He consequently urged the court to strike out the entire proceedings before the court. Uzozie, however, said that his request to court was that the entire proceedings before the court be set aside, and the prosecution given liberty to file a new charge. Recall that Nnamani, Anyaogu and six companies had been first arraigned in 2007 for allegedly conspiring to divert about N5.3bn from the coffers of Enugu State. With the court order, it means that the bench warrant earlier issued by the court against Nnamani has been discharged, and become null and void.
