A Fast Track High Court (Tax and Financial) Division on Thursday adjourned the case involving Alhaji Alhassan Mohammed Imoro, a former Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), to February 10.<\/p>\n
The court adjourned the case after the State, represented by Senior State Attorney, Comfort Tasiame, prayed the court for a four-week adjournment to allow the prosecution to complete its investigations.<\/p>\n
She said they were still in the process of investigations, explaining that, it had been quite a hectic investigation considering the nature of the case.<\/p>\n
