Court adjourns to May 13, 14, and 15 for cross-examination.
The trial of a former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, was on Wednesday stalled at an Abuja division of the Federal High Court due to the absence of his lead counsel, Kanu Agabi.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s counsel, Oluwaleke Otalagbe, after announcing appearance, had told the court that the matter was for cross-examination of the 20th prosecution witness.” We are not prepared to go on I am unable to cross-examine the witness because we have a letter on behalf of the senior counsel to the first, second, sixth and seventh defendant, who is unavoidably absent due to an engagement at the University of Calabar, Cross River State.
Prior to this, the judge, Okon Abang, in a short ruling said he would not grant Mr Ogah leave to submit the letter because it ought to have been brought “through a litigation clerk, not a counsel who is robbed in court.”
