The Federal High Court in Lagos has reserved judgement on the case of a former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Dr Waripamo-Owei Dudafa, who was charged with an alleged fraud of N1.6bn.
Justice Mohammed Idris said on Wednesday that the judgement day would be communicated to the parties.
Both the prosecution and the defence adopted their final written addresses on Wednesday in the trial which started in 2016.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission accused Dudafa of laundering a sum of N1.6bn.
He was charged alongside Joseph Iwuejo, who the EFCC said was his account officer in Heritage Bank.
But the defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The defence counsel, Mr Adegboyega Oyewole (SAN) and Mr Ige Asemudara, urged the court to discharge and acquit their clients.
Dudafa, while testifying in his own defence, told the court that contrary to the allegation by the EFCC, the N1.6bn traced to him was not part of proceeds of a criminal act and he did not conspire with Iwuejo or anyone else to conceal the funds.
