ALLEGED CYBERCRIME CASE AGAINST SENATOR NATASHA STALLED, ADJOURNED TO OCT 20.(PHOTO).


 Alleged cybercrime case against Senator Natasha stalled, adjourned to Oct 20


The trial against the suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over alleged cybercrime before Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, was stalled following an objection raised by the defendant.


Akpoti-Uduaghan had been arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Mohammed Abubakar. She was granted bail, following which Justice Mohammed Umar adjourned till September 22 for the commencement of the trial. But at the resumed hearing, counsel for the prosecution, David Kaswe, who had a Television mounted, told the court that they were ready to proceed with the trial, and the first witness was already present in court.


Responding, counsel for the defendant, Ehiogie West-Idahosa (SAN), expressed concern about the possibility of the prosecution opening its case. He added that his client had filed a notice of preliminary objection to challenge the court’s jurisdiction to hear the case. He said the objection is not to the nature of the charge, but the alleged abuse of the prosecutorial powers of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).


The defence lawyer also complained about not being served with copies of the statements of the prosecution witnesses. Although the Prosecution Counsel argued that the objection filed by the defendant should not be allowed to stall the court’s business for the day, Justice Umar insisted that the prosecution must first respond to the objection. The judge said he intended to first determine the objection raised by the defence before taking any further steps in the case.


He subsequently fixed October 20 for the hearing of the objection.
