In his ruling on the applications,Justice Oshodi refused the first defendant's application seeking leave of the court to travel abroad for medical check on the grounds that the application challenging the jurisdiction of the court must be heard first before other issues could be attended to.Justice Oshodi also declined an application filed by Ifedayo Adedipe,SAN,seeking leave of the court to allow his client,Obla to travel abroad for medical check.
The judge said: ''whatever decisions made by the court in the matter must affect both parties,since it is a joint trial''.Consequently,counsel to the first defendant sought to temporarily withdraw the application challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear the matter so as not to delay further proceedings.However,Justice Oshodi maintained that the application had been brought before the court and would be heard before other pending  applications.The case was adjourned to April 28,2017 for continuation of trial.More photos below.
