 PDP court hearing over pro-Wike faction suit adjourned to Jan 14 The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday adjourned the hearing of a suit by the pro-Wike faction of the PDP challenging the Ibadan National Convention until January 14, 2026. The adjournment followed a motion by the opposing faction, led by Kabiru Turaki, seeking the recusal of Justice Joyce Abdulmalik over alleged bias. The court held the motion was not yet ripe for hearing, as some parties had not been served. The suit involves disputes over party leadership recognition, access to PDP headquarters, and INEC’s acknowledgment of party representatives. A related counter-suit by the Turaki-led faction was also adjourned to January 16.

Rosolu had been convicted by Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo of the Lagos High Court,Ikeja on the two-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretences brought against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC,on December 21,2015.
Consequently,the appellant,through her lawyer filed a notice of appeal on December 30,2015,challenging her conviction.However,in a judgement delivered on friday,the Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal and affirmed the decision of the lower court.Rosulu had aided Fred Ajudua,a one-time Lagos socialite,to defraud Bamiayi when they were both remanded at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison,Lagos for different offences.
The prosecution had told Justice Lawal-Akapo that Ajudua made a false representation to Bamaiyiii that the $330,00 was the professional fees for the law firm of Afe Babalola and Co. to facilitate Bamaiyi's release from prison,a claim which the firm denied.During the trial,Rosulu had denied going to the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons or knowing Ajudua.
However,counsel to the prosecution presented a number of witnesses who testified that Rosulu went t the prison on different occasions to collect the money from Bamaiyi on behalf of Ajudua.While delivering her judgement,Justice Lawal-Akapo had said: ''The representation that she never collected $330,000 from the complainant is deceptive; the accused could not provide a strong alibi for her whereabouts when the fraud occurred.''I find the accused guilty as charged.As a registrar of court,the accused should have been an image maker of the judiciary,but she acted in the contrary.On count one,I sentence the accused to 10 years imprisonment and on count two I sentence the accused to 10 years imprisonment.''Both sentences are to run concurrently''.
