The case instituted by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project against the Federal Government over recovered ABACHA's loot, suffers setback at the Federal High Court Abuja, due to the absence of the Minister of Justice, ABUBAKAR MALAMI.

Justice TAIWO TAIWO adjourned the matter to July 27 and issued a hearing notice to be served on the AGF.

SERAP had sued the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, ZAINAB AHMED, and the AGF as first and second defendants respectively.

In the suit, SERAP prayed the court to compel the Federal Government to disclose the exact amount recovered from ABACHA's loot and also the details of projects executed with the recovered loot.

He told the court that he had earlier brought the motion ex parte but was directed by the court to put all the parties on notice.
