Responding, Babatunde Ogala, SAN, informed the court that he came prepared for the trial. He, however, added that “It was only this morning, while seated here, that I was informed that the witness is not here and that they are not ready to go on; and so, will seek an adjournment.”


The counsel to the first defendan ,James Alara also aligned with Ogala.  He further urged the court to take notice that the stalling of the proceedings was at the instance of the prosecution.


Apologising for the development, Mohammed prayed the court for a short adjournment.
