Anger as Agba Jalingo is not produced in court
Friends, well-wishers and associates who thronged the court premises were angry over the failure to produce him.His case was scheduled for appearance on Wednesday but his absence in court forced the adjournment till Friday, February 7, 2020.
According to him: “The court had earlier notified us that they are ready to hear our application today and we were in court for the court to hear us but unfortunately, being a criminal trial, Agba Jalingo was not produced. But, Ibor said that having waited for so long and the provision of the EVR was not forthcoming, the defense had to file a motion to vary the order of Justice Amobeda.
Also, a twist in the case showed that the Cross River State government may take over the case by the next court date. Furthermore, he said the notion that the matter may be taken to the High Court of Cross River State should be discountenanced.
