Agba Jalingo returns to court Wednesday
The trail of Agba Jalingo, a journalist and an activist, facing alleged crimes of treason and terrorism in the Federal High court in Calabar, Cross River State, resumes on Wednesday.
Jalingo had earlier written the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for reassignment of the case from Justice Amobeda’s court following a leaked tape. And, in his ruling, Amobeda referred the matter to the Administrative Judge of the Calabar division, Justice Sule Shuaibu who it is understood, remanded the case back to him to entertain a motion by the defense council seeking to vary the order for the provision of the EVR.
He was arrested in his Lagos residence on August 22, 2019 despite repeated statements that he will honour a police invitation bordering on his article published in July where he demanded the whereabouts of the NGN500 million approved and released by the Cross River State government for the floating of the Cross River Microfinance bank.
