Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Benin on Friday threatened to revoke the bail granted to a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu; the state Chairman of t
he Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Dan Orbih; and three others if they delayed the commencement of their trial for alleged N700m money laundering.
The EFCC alleged that the defendants received the sum of N700m prior to the 2015 General Elections from a former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke. Justice Umar issued the threat after listening to arguments of defendants seeking six months adjournment because of the ill health of Mr Efe Anthony.
But the prosecution counsel, Mr L P Aso, argued that the language of the application attempted to frustrate the prosecution through unwarranted delay.
