Ogunjobi of the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere has adjourned till August 28, 2020, the arraignment of an Oyo State local government council official, Badmus Adesina, and a lawyer, Ibukunoluwa Konu, over the alleged theft of N167,886,591.60.The defendants were alleged to have conspired to commit the offences of stealing, forgery and production of documents without authority between 2009 and 2019.
The prosecution further alleged that the defendants, with intent to defraud and without lawful authority or excuse, made, signed and executed the forged letter of attestation of the marriage certificate. “I say that this is contrary to the provisions of Section 273 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, 2015, which, in summary, prohibits the stay of criminal proceedings before any high or magistrates’ court,” he said.“All this letter has asked for is an adjournment and not a stay. To that extent, I submit that the provisions of the ACJL cited are inapplicable. The AG is not before this court for a stay of proceedings.
